Permission request
Oh Great Mods,

I posted a wank about animation the other day in OTF that didn’t get the mocking replies I was expecting. Instead of laughing at the people, they began to debate the subject that started the whole thing.

I’m here to request that I be allowed to post about the results from OFT thread without giving any links or clues as to where it came from, proving to the n00b that 2D isn’t dead and the demographic he insists think it is so, don’t. Maybe a quote or two, but definitely no names.

I await your opinion.

Edit:
I was never in the fight. I posted early in both threads before they descended into such. The subject matter is interesting to me and I’ve been a member there for a bit. Basically I was intending to ignore the troll and write about the audience who are the main consumers of animation.

On my post on OFT (where there was hardly any discussion of the wank) it seems that most people prefer 2D except when, and only when, 3D might be better. Seeing the opinions being reiterated again and again, I just thought I’d ask.

I know the rules and you have spoken, I won’t reply. Thank you.

	I'm... I need a little clarification here. Are you trying to go back and 'win' the fight you were reporting on? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Are you trying to go back and 'win' the fight you were reporting on? That's what it looks like to me, yep. Did someone put stupid in the water supply this week or something? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Did someone put stupid in the water supply this week As opposed to... other weeks? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	This is one of those rare situations where it's better to ask for permission than forgiveness, I think. Because this way, the mods can say no, you don't troll the wank, you don't get banned, and we don't appear to the rest of the world to be a nest of trolls. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Trolls nest? I always thought they were cave-dwelling, myself. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	This sounds like a bad plan. (Reply to this)

	Well, without saying where it came from, the best you could have done was a kind of "the lurkers support me in email" anyway. "These people--and I'm not saying who they are or linking to where they've said it, so just take my word for it--totally agree with me." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Well, I was going for, “I mentioned it to the fans and they said...”, but the idea is now dead. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Yeah, I found that "I posted it to OTF and then this happened" bit intriguing for the same reason. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I figured it for part of the stupidity of the post in general, personally. Although I'm still kind of wondering with the post was even in OTF in the first place, given that it was about animation and all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Although I'm still kind of wondering with the post was even in OTF in the first place, given that it was about animation and all. Agreed. I had a hard time fitting it into OTF's memory structure. I put it in Elitism, PERSECUTION, Leaving Forever, and "Take it to fandom_wank" since there are no animation categories. (Reply to this)(Parent)
