Keeping Oppo Weird

I completely understand why you feel that way.

Not trying to stir anything up, just pointing anyone interested to the content, because it is quality. To that end, I dismissed your GIF, even though it gave me a good laugh... I’m doing my best not to take sides in this, although I’m completely on board with the decisions the mods have made. Months ago, when I got the sense that he (and his family/friends?) were trying to use me to their ends, I refused to play along, and he/they? got pissy.

Plenty of auto journos are jerks (see Jack Baruth), but that doesn’t mean people shouldn’t read and enjoy their writing...

It’s one thing to be a jerk, but it’s another to be a jerk in a medium that doesn’t tolerate it.... and we don’t on Oppo.

As I had noted, He can do whatever he wants on his Kinja and I’m not inclined to let his stuff find its way back on Oppo

PS: your post about him is sent to drafts

I understand your frustration with everything you and the other mods went through with him over the years, but I don’t see how pointing Opponauts to his new Kinja location is any issue; it’s just sharing information for those who may want to touch base or read his posts.

I think the boys and girls of OPPO are big enough to have civil conversations about anything, and don’t feel like removing a post like mine is necessary or warranted, honestly.

That said, I won’t press the issue if you and the other mods feel that it’s best to not even mention his name again in these parts.

Feel free to point Gawker users to his work on his own Kinja on other gawker sub blogs and main sites. That’s your prerogative and something we (mods) can’t control outside of Oppo.

Thanks for your understanding

This is a great GIF, by the way...

Sure thing. Hope you’re recovering well from whatever meat coma/hangover/chemical burns you may have suffered in the last 24 hours - ha!
