One thought on “The Pattern”

So… typical con drama page/group then? What’s confusing me is that they both seem surprised. Not sure how you’d get through working/running one of any size without bonking into that – repeatedly. Including the moderation style. It’s amazing how much crap you can enable by playing, “No no, don’t say such terrible things! I’ll wave my finger and admonish you mildly.” referee. And it’s ultra-passive aggressive! After all, *you’re* not saying these things, why you’ve tried to stop people from saying them. Cough. What a shock that Jim would go that route.
