In appreciation for Jeph's work
Carl-E:
Pretty sure that's what that post was all about, but maybe I'm missing something.

The thing is, unless Jeph is lying to us, Jeph didn't shut down the discussion thread. The shutdown of the WCDT was apparently because someone (not Jeph) was reporting the posts of people s/he disagreed with or didn't like to the moderators, who got annoyed and decided to pre-emptively shut the whole thing down so they wouldn't be bothered by it. Or that's how I read the final post by "est" in there.

Don't worry, I'm well aware that Jeph wasn't the one that closed the WCT, so I'm not holding it against him (though I'm a bit disappointed that the mod took the easy way out rather than, you know, moderating the thread). But it's a pretty well-known fact that Jeph hates the WCTs (though not to the point of closing them entirely), and I don't understand where that hate comes from. I think I'd find it almost flattering that people were passionate enough about my creation to have those sorts of discussions. Would he rather that his comics were so dull and one-dimensional that we couldn't have discussions like that? I doubt it.

No, but people are taking things way too far with this. Yes, it's a little soap opera webcomic of our own here, but seriously, people are taking it way too far with their psycho-analysing here.

Why is that a problem for anyone but those doing the psycho-analyzing? Sure, some of the folks that post in the WCTs should probably turn off the computer and go outside for a bit, but it's not the Dickbroom Brigade's (or Jeph's, for that matter) job to make them do that.

you don't understand why he hates it. it's because people are being assholes to each other over who's right about what's going to happen. It's not that they're passionate it's that they're flaming the hell out of each other over fiction. it's the same with insufferable hardcore trek fans.
