Besides, Tomarken never really hosted a straight quiz, right?
Look, over there; behind all those trees. That's the forest.
I just picked a random name, it doesn't matter which. You could find the greatest host of all the land and it wouldn't matter because while the idea was there they didn't do anything creative with the format.
To be fair (still playing Devil's Advocate here), how creative can you be with a kids vs. adults format? I ask both facetiously and seriously, because I'm both unsure there was much else that could've been done, but I would like to see someone at least try to come up with something better than what they had- I sure as hell don't know what I could add to this case.
Now Jason, your post and the post in question I made came out around the same time...so if you would like a response I'll give it to you.
It seemed to imply you know you're acting as a provocateur in a sense. I hope I'm wrong. That would be the message board equivalent of a radio or cable TV pundit, and as somebody who posts and reads here in my free leisure time, that doesn't sound very fun.
I'm not out and out trying to act like a provocateur, trust me. Granted, I may have some opinions that you may disagree with- and I'll be the first to admit that I've got some off the wall opinions (fortunately for everyone involved, at least most of the time, I keep 'em to myself). And I have no problem with people telling me they don't agree with what I've got to say. And editing to add, we've all got things we feel passionately about.
And I'm also aware I've earned whatever reputation I have over the eight years since I joined the GSF. Sometimes things get a little heated, though, and they shouldn't (which is as much on me, maybe more, than it is on anyone else).
Maybe I shouldn't take it as personally as I can sometimes but when it seems that at times no matter what I say it's out and out dismissed, don't I at least have a little reason, however miniscule, to think that maybe there's more going on? I know it's crazy, but...
