KINDERGARTEN
blogging has apparently cost someone their job. And that's from Treacher. Is it true? I have no idea. I DO know I never sniffed around that piss spot. I prefer to have people chapped at me, and jumping my shit. Having said that, I liked BOTH Moxies.
I just read all this shite; believe it or not, I'd never heard of *either* Moxie till this flame-war started. This is way worse than kindergarten, if what is being said is true.
If the job loss allegations *are* true - of which I am a *tiny* bit skeptical, as the "newer" Moxie seems to be taking it a bit too well - then someone either needs to get a) sued over this, or b) a baseball bat applied vigorously to their car. Or their person. Really.
I hardly ever advocate litigiousness. :D
But really, I'm of no opinion on the thing. I don't know either of these people or their adherents. I'm not One Of The Cool Kids. Bwwwaaah!
Okay, maybe it *is* kindergarten...

Posted by: Kim at June 23, 2003 11:57 PMI'm taking it well because the shock wore off. I go through the "oh heavens to betsy!" girlie mode pretty quickly. I was hysterical the first few days (holy crap, you should see some of the e-mails I sent that day -- *not* my best work) then I spent the weekend reading and cleaning and doing all the stuff I didn't have time to do 'cos of work, and now I'm just set on getting another job.
I'm supposed to get all the final paperwork stuff in the mail (not sure how that works -- I've never been fired before) and I'll see if I can get ahold of someone with a scanner and scan it in.
Believe me, if I were gonna make this up, I would've done it two weeks ago, when people actually cared :)
Posted by: moxie pop at June 24, 2003 12:27 AMHey, Moxie Pop. Sorry to imply that you were less than honest; I've read nice things about you elsewhere and really had no reason to doubt your word - except you're taking it a HELLUVA lot better than I would. See option b, above.
Best of luck in the job search. :D
Posted by: kelley at June 24, 2003 1:23 AMi am truly a contrarian because i dont like either moxie or any of the people who are apparently involved in this silly nonsense.

Posted by: mr. helpful at June 24, 2003 10:09 AMWe need nude photos of both Moxies so that The People can decide this important matter.
Posted by: Jack Straw at June 24, 2003 11:19 AMI just can't believe that it became this fucking stupid. What a waste of time and bandwidth. Holy shit, I sort of thought it was funny at first, then I just wanted to start slapping people for being assholes.
If I was the Hulk, lemme tellya...
