Joseph Mallozzi's Blog! (SPOILERS For All SG Shows and Dark Matter)

[scarimor]

Er, no....
MOCK
1. to attack or treat with ridicule, contempt, or derision.
2. to ridicule by mimicry of action or speech; mimic derisively.

So, mocking is basically breaking GW's rules

But even the mods do it when it suits, so defining what is allowed and what isn't is like trying to nail down a blancmange.

Not that I think they or anyone else shouldn't do it. Mockery is an incisive tool. Ever since the earliest satires "held up a mirror to society" to expose flaws and failings and to reveal new angles on behaviour, mockery is valuable. Nothing throws hypocrisy or deceit into sharp relief like a well aimed juxtaposition or a swift trip to an unamapped logical conclusion. That should be as useful here as anywhere else.

And of course bullies hate being mocked. It's the best way to stop them, because it's the antithesis of their desired effect on those they target.

Banning mockery from broad discussion is like trying to ban the colour green from an artist's palette: it impoverishes the mix, and someone will figure out how to use red and blue to defeat your objective regardless.

[Listy]

No you haven't:

...And that's what I sent off to Joe.

Excellent, if only I could green you for that

Just keep on with the flocking its doing good work...

And anybody who wants to mock joe, or mock the people who mock joe on his comments page, should simply do it ON his comments page, instead of dragging it over here, as no doubt many of the folk on that comments page aren't on GW.

I suspect most of them are from elsewhere.

Given how outlandish some of the comments there are, it's probably impossible to discuss his responses to them without sharing. It's not as if numerous posters on this thread haven't laughed at some of the comments, and not just recently. And over and over we see JM described as a "stirrer" and "rabble-rouser" and similar. I'm going to watch this thread to see how it copes with a gagging order which covers so much of the topic in question

It's not a gag order, it's board rules not to villify, mock, etc. other fans (and yes, the anonymous folk, whoever they are, are considered fans to one degree or another) or cast/crew. On JM's comments page, you can basically say whatever you want, and he says it back, but that kind of behavior shouldn't translate over here (as we already have enough of it; why import it?)

I'm sure there's plenty to talk about on JM's blog with regards to spoilers, food, etc. without muckracking fans.

like how joe gave the s/j shippers a shippy gift to mull over?

i can't say enough how much i NEEDED that either. ~sighs~

(wonders how long it'll be before someone mocks this? )

August 5, 2007

Photos: Lulu, crowds at the Richmond Night Market, and fooood.

Write-Up: A mole-hill made into mountain that little Eric tripped over; Joe realizes his obsession with villainhood might be going too far (or not far enough); food; and an update on reading.

Questions:

Teyla’s Angel writes: “Hi Joe, since you have all but confirmed that John's doppelganger will be the father of Teyla's baby, can you assure us that their relationship will become canon in season 4?”

Answer: I did what?

SueS writes: “Since Harmony is the final ep, is it being written as if there will be a season 5 - i.e. with a cliffhanger ending or will all the loose ends be tied up?”

Answer: Harmony is not the season finale. The season finale has yet to be broken. Also, the production order of the episodes does not reflect their air order.

PG15 writes: “Lord Joe of Mallozzi-on-Chocolate-Fountain…”

Answer: I warned you about eating that flocking!



My Name Is Scott writes: "If you were to magically turn into a woman, what name would you choose for yourself?"

Answer: Probably Scott.

Hmm, haven't we all???

Cute pup. Looks sorta like a bat with those ears!

I was just going to say the same thing. See, PG15, even Joe agrees with us that you have a problem!

And yes, the pup is adorable. Batdog!!

[PG15]

Hello, and welcome!

Hey now, if eating(!!) that flocking gave me the talent to write what I wrote yesterday, then I say give me seconds!
