Scenario #2: The habitual complainers could lighten up and realize that they aren't the king of the world, their unsolicitated advice is not appreciated, and if they want to do anything about the big bad words on a screen they can run right away to their big buddy boss man and whine like a little cry-baby that their precious stagnant board is being ruined by the bad bad meanies who like to actually employ a sense of humor in their daily lives.

Yeah, I don't know how this place managed to survive so long before you guys came along. All those lengthy posts we were making with footnotes and bibliographies, UT would come along and smack our knuckles with a ruler if one of us dared to crack a joke even in some forlorn, mis-begotten thread that no one ever read.
No fun, no new members - it was like the most boring class you ever took in college and generally cut class to avoid it. But we all dragged ourselves to our computers and slogged out our posts - a little like those antartic explorers who ended up man hauling their sledges. Good thing you showed up. We'd just eaten our last husky and were starting to eye one another. Why do you think Fargon wanted to eat you? He wasn't kidding!
So what are you? A wussy boy or something that you whine about newbies being chased off? I've been attacked by masters of the art of getting rid of newbies, and I'm STILL here, much to LJ's dismay. And I'm just a dumb GIRL! Grow some balls and take it on the chin like a man!
