Stop ripping on Joe just to rip on Joe. His request was to change the Battle.net Dev forum into the Blizzard Dev forum.

I'm ripping on Joe because he was the proximate cause of a change that several people don't like.

You're being awfully generous, calling them "people"

;)

(Subject: Battle.net Development Forum)
Can this be changed to the Blizzard Game Development Forum? I've been working on WoW projects lately and I'm not sure if they go in here, general programming, or the WoW forum. Switching it makes the question easy. :)

MyndFyre, please quote the part where I asked someone to turn the WoW gaming forum into a programming forum of any kind.

I'm ripping on Joe because he was the proximate cause of a change that several people don't like.

And because he goes out of his way to be annoying.

* Chavo lobbies for removal of Joe's moderator privileges forum-wide so that the ignore mod will work properly on him

Again, how?

Protesting with signs of course!

People have been kicked out of the clan for leaking privileged information.

I'm the last one to defend Joe, but you guys are being fucking stupid.
Joe didn't suggest this, but besides the terrible name, it's not a bad idea.

Since "you guys" implies my membership because I'm arguing against the merge, I'll reply in kind.  Here, let me hold your hand as we walk through what I said.

"Proximate cause" is a term referring to an event without which an injury would not have occurred.  In this situation, the "injury" is the forum merge that some people don't like.

As you can see, Joe originated the thread which ultimately resulted in this forum merge with little other discussion or input.

Do you follow?  I know some of these big words like "proximate" can be confusing, but I'm trying to help you understand.

[Warrior]

No, I'm actually saying shut the fuck up. Understand now?

[Armin]

I'm the last one to agree with Warrior, but you guys are being fucking stupid.
Blaming the "proximate cause" is ridiculous, and I can't believe I actually feel the need to explain why:
If you brought a bunch of friends to a shooting range, and one of them runs out to his target in the middle of an "open fire", and gets shot and killed, you are the proximate cause. Are you to blame? No, your friend is for being a fucking moron.

[iago]

I think some people are taking jokes/ribbing too seriously. :P

[Warrior]

I agee, Myndfyre needs to learn to take a joke.

[Hitmen]

You guys are all dumb, it's obviously Blaze's fault. If he was lazy like everyone else nothing would have ever been changed.

Exactly, let's all blame Blaze! And definitely don't blame iago for suggesting it in the first place. Nosiree, let's ignore that :)
