Ah, here's something though; just as he can potentially stop letting the insults through, what's keeping the fans from doing the same with Joe's "insults"? They don't have to read it; they don't have to react to it. Really, it's a two way street. In fact, it's that very reason why I'm posting so much in defense of him; I see a lot of back-snarkage in this very thread.

Originally posted by PG15 View PostIMHO, as he is after all the showrunner, his blog would focus a lot on his job (since it's a part of his life) and what happened at his job during that particular day of the blog update. I mean, do I have to be professional when I'm talking about my day working at Starbucks? I hope not.
Originally posted by PG15 View PostI mean seriously, everyone who has a job could entertain questions about it, and they have to act professionally because of this made-up rule of semi-officiality? I don't think so.
Joe has every right to say whatever he wants in his blog. However, his rebuttal flaming has more negative ramifications than flaming by fans, even if they "started it", even if they said things that were worse. Why? Because he represents the Stargate product and the fans don't. There's no "made-up rule" about acting professionally, it's simply common sense to not bring negativity to your product and certainly to not jump into the muck and add to it. Doing so taints you and the product you represent. It may not make your bosses too happy either...

I have nothing to say to that. Really, I'm just tired of this debate.
You raise some excellent points, but I feel differently about it. I guess I tend to think less in terms of business.
Perhaps you should post that on his blog? Seriously; I'm sure he values input as long as it's rational and not too argumentative; he's said as much.
Actually, I would love to hear what has to say about all of this.

As far as I'm concerned, it's just different posting guidelines. Comments that would be deleted in an instant here are allowed and encouraged and even laughed at on Fark. It's just different guidelines for behavior in different places.

there is a lot of back snarking.
but at the end of the day, a person can only control themselves. they can only take care of thier own behavior.
maybe if he'd want less fans snarking at him, ,he'd let the snarky posts die in the mod queue, pass through the respectful ones, and folks would learn that if htey wanted to get thier question answered, they'd post it respectfully

Actually, I may have more than five, but I can be definite about five and after that it gets vague. I do know I was at Gatecon when Brad Wright announced Shanks was leaving, so maybe that makes it six. Don't think it's much more than that, though.
Whatever. It still means I'm not a REAL fan 'cos I didn't watch from Day 1, and I guess that's what it all boils down to.
