I think what he means is that he doesn't really give two shits about forum drama because, well, he's bright enough not to.
He's right about the whole Gabbletron/Meebo thing being a divisive element. I don't talk much (if at all, in some really sad cases) to most of those people because, well, they're content to talk among themselves elsewhere. Which is good for them, I'm not going to stop them, but it is SHIT for this forum. Wonder why all the interesting shit is gone? It's because it all got sucked into another place. The old regulars who would normally be posting cool shit on the boards have all pretty much left to post their cool shit on Meebo and ignore the boards.
Basically, if you guys are serious about making this place interesting again, kill Meebo and stop being anal about people getting chatty in threads. If people want to talk, let them talk. You don't kill a conversation in real life just because the topic changed, what makes the internet so special that you should do it here? If shit gets out of hand and becomes so exclusive that only two people are talking about it, THEN they take it somewhere more private.
