Scenario #1: All new users to this site are effectively driven away by the irrational hostility of a few uptight killjoys, and subsequently the site slowly dies as the last few remaining members slowly succumb to the ravages of old age, pausing only once a month to make a single post (because posting more than once a month clearly constitutes a sub-human mentality).
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.

Or is that clumsily ironic? Is there a difference?

yes, there is a difference.
ironically clumsy meaning i use irony clumsily. clumsily ironic meaning you say, "where did i put that half filled bucket of water?" just before you step into it and fall down the stairs.

 I think you have that reversed, lumberjim. The adverb modifies the adjective.

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!

@Kitsune: I found it curious that when I poked my head in this thread I found that there were people who were "still bitching" about, you know, whatever they are bitching about, and so I commented on that. Human behavior is fascinating to me.
