Jesus Christ what the fuck am I reading? I'm only going to be able to get away with this because it's in Crap!, but I'm making this post short for now. I'll try to address everything later when I'm not so tried and just trying to catch up.
The big thing I want to address is the shit-storm that came from this. It's ONE MORE THREAD, because a poll was wanted. It was reasonable. There's no flood of ponies. It's one extra fucking thread. How long ago was the first thread made? Seriously, I understand complaints if we were just taking over the whole forums, but I just returned from a little leave to 5 pages of topics and posts, and one thread about ponies garnered this much attention? I have to agree with the posts at the beginning of this thread; it says "ponies" right in the title. Don't click it if you don't like ponies. There's so much other shit you could go click on and talk about. I enjoy doing it too. I don't come here only for MLP. I come here for the company and the diversity. And I find it. If I didn't, why would I come back? It's so easy to avoid things like this. Just don't click what you don't have an interest in.
When it's time to make a big deal out of something these issues should arise. This, in my opinion, does not constitute as a reason to make a big deal about it.
