Personally, I miss Blake. I actually thought he was funny, he contributed to a lot of epic threads and he acted as a foil character for me. Off and on, I meet up with people from AF and during that period of time (when I was on the Board) pretty much every conversation started with people saying “So what’s the deal with this Blake guy?” So he was definitely a topic of interest. Then again, I miss CFAvsMBA as well.
People definitely have the impression that the Board has more transparency into a lot of things than they do, I think.
Blake could be interesting as a foil. He was not a dumb person, but he loved to put people down and call them total losers or worse at the slightest opportunity and tell people he’d meet them somewhere of their own choosing to go beat them up. In small doses, it was a useful reality check, but in anything more than small doses, it was toxic.
^^ You do know there are no barriers to entry, right? All he has to do is sign up as MBAvsCFA or something more obvious like Never Happened. Maybe he just preferred playing a black character on another site.
I miss Blake too, I only caught the end of his tenure but he never seemed as bad as some made out and having heard about most of his exploits retrospectively, it’s a pretty good feat to have been able to troll virtually all the mainstays, including the chilled out reasonable guys, at some point in time. I’d thought that the legendary bchad vs Blake row was earlier than the thread where he doxed bchad although I didn’t see either.
As opposed to the rest of this thread and it’s links not being dickish?
I’m not disagreeing with you that nominating the thread was a foul (although I figured two regular posters going at it for more than a page qualified), I just thought this was a weird place to draw the line at being a dick.
I didn’t read the rest of the thread as if i hear any more about trump I might shoot someone. I just thought the job stuff was crossing a line personally.
