Y'know what's a bad idea?
Burning your bridges behind you.
Y'know what's worse?
Burning your bridges ahead of you.

A couple things do bother me about Giraffe's site, though. The rather weird approval of SDMB staff gives the impression that establishing the board might have been a tactic. In other words — and I know Giraffe wouldn't do this, it's just the appearance of the thing — mollify the malcontents by giving them a separate, but very friendly, place to have their rhetorical bowel movements. That way, they remain loyal to SDMB but do not sully its pages.
But the other thing is the attitude of the posters there, describing us in rather dismissive and parochial terms. They say they're the grown-ups and we're the teenagers. Interesting.
So I vote that if there is a merger, our own CRSP should be in charge. He has demonstrated considerable leadership ability. I feel good about him. I think he'll take care of the place and make it a good place for us.

I sure do like Giraffe, but I'm not really interested in helping Ed to further his agenda — whatever the hell it may be. So I'm not really looking for a "partner site" where I can post from time to time when I'm not doing Ed's bidding.
Besides, we've had that forever. It's called "Fabulous Forums of Fathom".

So...joining a "partner site" and "furthering Ed's agenda" by posting with the "malcontents" is ok now? If it was just the one post that was quoted above, that'd be one thing. But there was post after post from you about how we suck. And now, here you are, now that you've made yourself unwelcome at another board (and nice shot at Fathom, by the way. I remember how they took you in once too).
