Gosselins Without Pity
Anybody else familiar with the Jon & Kate Plus 8 thread? Somehow it evoked a lot of passion and anger from some TWOP posters, and was shut down temporarily a million times. Finally, the mods got fed up and shut it permanently.
Which led to some bitching in this thread.
A sample comment:
I just wanted to voice my opinion on the closing of the Jon & Kate Plus 8 thread and then I'll shut up about it from now on. IMO closing it down forever you're letting the fans of Jon and Kate win. How do you know they weren't the ones trying to get the thread shut down cause they hated the constant bashing of them? I keep picturing in my head those people jumping up and down with glee about that.
I know that the mods are infamous for being heavyhanded on TWOP, but I don't know if the permanent shutdown of the Jon & Kate thread is an example of this. The people who come out really looking crazy are the other posters. Maybe I'm biased, because I've never watched the show (well…one episode) and can't understand the outrage the Gosselins inspire -- several posters keep talking about contacting CPS to take away the children.
If you miss your fill of Jon & Kate -- never fear! Gosselins Without Pity is here! (a blog started by the same TWOPers.)
