the end of the dark age may yet be upon us!

That's not  not a terribly inhumane sentiment at all.

For those of us unfamiliar with the name, is their any particular reason for this display of bloodlust?

Person who probably is personally responsible for the loss of the greatest amount of joy in my life over the last 7 years.
He was installed as the CEO of Cartoon Network following the 2007 Boston mooninite bomb scare and proceeded to gut it.

Probably the #3 most hated person on my personal **** list, right above Larry Page, and behind Larry Ellison. Steve Jobs is still #1 though.

Oh no. My cartoons were gutted. This man is literally Hitler. Almost as awful as the man who made a brand of computers I don't like.

Yes, this is very important and of course people who run cartoon channels are a lot more offensive than those annoying dictators and whatnots who get all the news in this lamestream media. This shows how focused my mind is to the real issues here.

Really. Get the **** out of your house for a second. There's a real world out there which isn't about Tartakovsky, etc.

Careful what you wish for. I recall one of the Star Wars Galaxies NGE developers committing suicide, after being basically the SWG fans "lightning rod of hate", as everybody blamed him for the (bad) ingame changes.

Although I wouldn't necessarily say that the fact that Stu Snyder left is a bad thing :nervous: [edited to avoid confusion]

Freeman's brother clarified that his suicide had nothing to do with the game. "I want everyone to know that it was not SWG that led him to take his life," he said. "He has been troubled for some time. There were a lot of personal issues that tore at him."

i'm not going to say that post was tasteless, mpez, just heavily imply it

there was a time when the acronym DIAF was used quite regularly on the internet and no one batted an eye.

Perhaps most of us have simply matured since then.

I think it was just a failed attempt for a comedic effect that clearly didn't work on this audience. The tone contrast between the actual trivial boring event and the over the top "diaf" comment was just off-putting imho.

Moving on?

I stand corrected (omg, now that I read the "he left and it's good" part it seems that I'm talking about the SOE guy, while I was actually returning back to Stu Snyder)
