Ruddha posted:At one time there was a master and his disciple walking in the mountains. They passed two boys with a stand, selling live frogs for people to take home and eat. The young disciple told the old master to take a rest, saying he'd be right back. He bought all the frogs from the boys, who happily returned home. He threw the frogs one by one back into the river, who very happily swam and jumped. He returned to his master, who asked him, "You look happy, what happened?" the young monk replied "Oh, no problem! I saved the frogs!" The master said mournfully, "Oh, YOU saved them? Too bad! Now YOU go to hell!"

That still doesn't make any sense and my take away is the two boys will go out and recapture the frogs because the stupid monk has created a sustainable industry based on animal cruelty. The moral action would have been to drown the two boys and release the frogs. Or eat the frogs. Or eat the boys and release the frogs. Or better yet kill and eat the master who seems like stupid rear end in a top hat.

Marcade posted:IIRC the last pyf bans thread ended...poorly. Like helldump poorly (or I'm wrong, wouldn't be the first time) I can't see a PYF Bans thread not rapidly devolving into Schadenfreude posts, frequently from the person who filed the report. Eoray's bans of yore don't have the same effect because they're all so far in the past that it doesn't matter much any more.

Yeah it's almost like the admins should ban people who love drama and post incessantly in every thread about drama, and spread drama to any threat they can. It's not subtle, and there's like a dozen posters responsible for it tops.

alright, fine! three sagas threads! that should keep things nice and sedate, but i'm pretty sure four would be excessive.

The thread has been terrible for a long time. It usually got goldmined as a matter of course for being a "successful" thread but it is not compatible with a healthy culture, period
