A new Jay story, about Sonic? Consider me very, very intrigued! This'll give me something to look forward to this week - I'll clear space out in my mind for it, yes.

Regards to people, policies, and complaints - it reminds me of a bit of an old story in my family. About people and how they desire to constantly be the heroes of their own stories; resplendant in all they do. Whenever someone challenges that worldview, the worldview is adjusted to make the complainers wrong - and anyone who stands with them is wrong by association. Politics, feelings, logic, emotions - there is no appeal that can break the powerful spell if 'but my story is great kay why u delete'. Well, maybe the ending isn't like that in the original story, heh.

"... an unrestricted platform to express themselves." Bolded for my emphasis, but that's the problem to me. The internet is a collaborative platform - and these sorts posters always end up coming off as self-interested to the point of blindness, not caring so much about others but that they might be heard. And of course, the moment someone takes time (free time, that they derive only their own enjoyment out of and seldom even that) to organize things, that person or people become anathema. People view administrators and organizers as automated functions of the wiki - not individual people with their own desires, needs, and ideas. Blargh.

Still, as long as we have music and snarky comments, life could be worse.
