I have no more desire to start "flamewars" here than I did on CH.
As I say, if I wanted to start trouble, I could have joined in the threads about Camel or Dolores and offered my two cents' worth about how one of them is a manipulative Machiavellian little tease and the other is a pathetic self-abusing pushover. (Your "white-knighting" remark is typical "Cracky-community", "grab-whatever-stick-lies-nearest-to-hand" double-standards. If I attack these girls I'm guilty of "sexist public harassment". If I say 'leave the poor little bitches alone' I'm guilty of "white-knightng rationalization").
Instead, I suggested that maybe we might talk about something - namely, sexual politics in the year 2011 - that, while certainly being of at least indirect relevance to the topic of Cracky and "loving Cracky", wouldn't immediately lead to personal abuse being thrown back and forth, or "drama", as you prefer to call it.
That has been about as successful here as all my similar attempts were on CH. The two boards are in fact not really that different. I don't really follow the logic of your argument that Bounceme is currently so "uninspired" because it's being overrun by people from CH and Chansluts. I don't see how people posting "shit" here - be it my "shit" or "shit" about random camwhores - can discourage or prevent you from posting "quality content" IF you have it to post. The same argument was put on CH just before Jeff closed it down: people whining and bitching about how certain people's activities - mine mostly - were preventing the board from being "about Cracky". At that point I withdrew completely and gave up the attempt to either moderate or contribute. There followed two weeks of pretty much unadulterated Snow, Boxxy and random personal self-indulgence - i.e. no Cracky at all - and then the shutdown. It turned out no one had anything to say about Cracky after all.
But honestly, I feel like a heavyweight in a ring with a flyweight here - or a 50-year-old Ph.D. in a pseudo-dialogue with...well, I won't speculate.
Enough, I think....Good luck with your board. I HOPE that you can make of it somehing resembling what you seem so assured that you can make of it.
