Calandale
« on: November 19, 2007, 06:33:03 PM »
I think he's been kind of bullied here. Seems kind of harsh to blame him for the death of the WC, just because he took an active interest in it, which really no one else did.

Can't help but notice that he hasn't been reinstated.

WC stands for Wallaby Cheesecake, a special cheesecake made with wallaby milk. Calandale killed it somehow. I don't know how.

Who is WC?

I like Calandale  :)

WC is the World Council. It was an experiment in self government that the Webmasters of this site attempted for its membership. Had it been a success and had you had been around a while longer, you would have been invited to join, automatically.

The original idea was that the WC should be mostly inclusive of the entire, dedicated membership and we, as a group, would decide the direction of the site by discussion. One of the problems was that there were a few members who were more interested in protocols and making up superfluous rules than actually having fun with the site. I have even seen Calandale post that all this rule mongering, nitpicking, and prescription for possibilities WAS fun to him.

There were a few more people who just wanted for the site's World Council to decide what to do about problems, as those problems arose.

One of the reasons Calandale must take some responsibility, along with the entire WC membership, for the demise of the WC is that he attempted to project farther into the future than many wanted to go. This created a rift. He, along with some others, wanted to change the way things were, to a more formal representation of some imagined democracy.


I like Calandale, too.

I did, too, even without ever tasting wallaby milk.

I seem to understand, instinctively, that effluent from wallaby mammaries could become cheese and that cheesecake is one of the most holy ways to enjoy milk, but the thought had not yet crossed my mind.

Meh. I'll concede your point, DirtDawg, but it doesn't change the fact that herd mentality has taken hold of some our our distinguished members.

and it's hardly bullying - if he can't take it, he shouldn't dish it out.

I guess it's needless to mention that intensity doesn't have any non-distinguished members, so I won't.  :laugh:
