Sort of reads like a tombstone doesn't it?

It should read "What Rabble management Wrought."

My point is that Rabble Management are directly responsible for the creation of En Masse and many of these people no longer being members of Babble.

Gee, thanks for clarifying.  I had no idea what you meant before.

Rabble "management" did something that was unpopular and maybe controversial, but it was the members who left who are responsible for the creation of those other sites and for no longer being members here. Their decision.

I think one could argue quite convincingly if one was writing the history of Rabble that management's behaviour directly led to the creation of EnMasse. A better historian than me might be able to discover other contributing factors. I'll go out on a limb and argue that without Management's "unpopular and maybe (sic) controversial" decision EnMasse would not have been formed. YMMV.

I appreciate your moving it, Michelle. I don't believe any thing I have written says that "Rabble management is Evil." I think I'm arguing as an historian that actions taken by Rabble's Management caused a reaction ie. the creation of EnMasse.

Just go to TAT, then click on "last >>" at the bottom, and you'll find some random threads from 2004 and 2005. Then click on the second-last page at the bottom (number 52, now anyways) and you'll see what looks like an almost complete set of thread from Jan. 2, 2007 to date.

Check out the very last thread on the TAT list.  If you can see what I can see, how weird it that?  You can post to the thread and it still stays at the bottom of the TAT list with "Anonymous" listed as the last poster.  I posted something there a week or so ago.

The ironic coincidence?  You, Unionist, started that thread!! Laughing

I didn't move it because I couldn't.  I guess old threads can't be moved!  So I deleted my post.  Anyhow, I don't care, make it about whatever you want, and enjoy!

Sven, that's really weird!  Thanks for bringing that to my attention.  I said so in the thread (which of course you can't find on TAT because it's on the last page and not in any forum), but I've notified tech support about it.

Not arguing the chain of events, just the notion of responsibility.

I'm discussing causality. It's certainly more than a correlation.

What I find strange about this thread is that I can't edit the opening post in any way, even to move the thread, which I can with all the other old posts in TAT.  Wonder why?  That's really odd.

Yeah, that's wierd.  I can close it (and reopen) but I can't do anything else.

But, maybe you could tell tech that they should make it priority No. 682 on the list of things to fix?

It's certainly an oddity...but not an urgency.

Michelle, maybe you could also ask tech support why when I open this thread I am prompted to log onto somebody's blog???

Holy crap.

 Okay, right now they're working on upgrades and stuff to the software (yes, those upgrades we've been wishing for, including profile pages and all that - I've had a preview and it looks neat so far, but still needs a bit of work before it's ready to go live).

So we'll probably see glitches like that here and there.  I will definitely let them know about this, though, and please keep bringing stuff like this to my attention so I can pass the word along.

Sven, yes, I've had a response and they're going to keep it in mind, but as you say, it isn't #1 on their list.

Thanks for the heads up, Sven. I have now retrieved that thread from Purgatory, to which "GOD" had obviously consigned it.

I am reminded of the book "The Impertinances of Brother Anonymous"

Wow, that takes me back a ways... How'd you know about him? I read about him long before I moved to Québec. We need more muckraking like that today. What a powerful influence that was.

I probably still have the book.  It was part of the course material in a Quebec related sociology course I took in university in the mid 70's.

It's a great book. My copy is hiding somewhere in my basement.
