For those of you who don't know, corporate drone Makoto has conceded in our battle for supremacy. He left this note in the comments last night:
"huh, since when did this become lewis' blog?
its kind of fucked, i've lost control of my content.
I've decided to stop contributing, you guys can catch me on the one and only, original, not to be duplicated, not to be copied.
http://agnoli.posterous.com
later"
This brings up some good points. Does absolute power corrupt absolutely? Was I doomed to become a megalomaniacal despot from the moment I registered this blog, therefore seizing sole admin privileges? Or did I create this blog with Ryan and Avery standing by because I am a megalomaniac?
The Orphans Forum is all about community. I think of myself as that creepy guy who runs the AA meeting, not some tyrant. (Speaking of which: New members have to share eventually. Todd, we haven't heard from you yet. Dave - ditto. The group is here to support you.)
Anyway, I'm feeling a little bit guilty about casting brother Makoto out. Was I too harsh on him? Did the power go to my head? Who is going to provide us with irrelevant techno information now? Who is going to be our unfiltered, socially inappropriate, Moth Collector? Who will regale us with stories about what the 80s were like?
I feel a void already. If Makoto won't come back to us, we must nominate a replacement. Will this guy do?
Overdue...Originally I thought that the many Makato posts were fine, but they are overwhelming.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh poor moth collector, he moves so fast in so many directions; but like a humming bird on nitrous, he crashes as well. "Gio" did crash this community forum by overwhelming it with posterous blah. The content was interesting and charming at times, but definitely overkill. I enjoy and support the direction Lewis has taken and continues to take O.F. And simply will miss the goofy bastard in the turtle neck sweater.
