Hey Scott. So some of us were talking a few days ago about The Blog and the community that sprang up from it. A few questions were brought up.
Did you think that a community with in depth discussions about all topics would develop on the blog? Or did you think the comment section would be filled with "nice rant" or "you suck"?
Do you hate the community? Do you hate the emailers? Do you like us? Are you indifferent? Or are we just a way to make tables full of money?
Also, there's rumors around the water cooler you like me (Magoonie). So....do you like me? Or do you like like me? Check yes or no.
​Really, is this a thing we're doing now? Because I'm not a huge fan of the metatextual stuff, but I'll give it a pass this time.
I definitely did not think discussions would spring up outside of the wrestling topics, mostly because I live firmly in the bubble that WWE does and tend not to pay attention to the outside world. My hopes for the comments were to basically create a sort of non-trolling alternative to what RSPW used to be, somewhere where people could hang out and talk wrestling without getting harassed, and I've tried hard to maintain that.
I like most of the e-mailers and commenters, although I don't tend to associate one with the other unless someone notes who they are in the e-mail. Usually it's pretty easy to tell who annoys me and they don't tend to hang around for long. Except for Dougie, who for some reason manages to hang around for years.
Overall I enjoy the feedback and I find it really interesting how much of a disconnect there sometimes is between the stuff I enjoy and the stuff you guys enjoy. I also think you guys put WAY too much faith in my faulty and aging memory because I have to look up 90% of the questions in old WONs at this point. Honestly, anyone who puts any kind of serious stock in things I answer in 10 seconds off the cuff is pretty misguided. But as you have all discovered several times over the years, if I didn't enjoy doing something, I would quit without notice and then maybe come back to it years later and do a half-assed job of it. So there's that.
