don't ever post stories that you got through emails!
.......................DIE
how was matt able to post a comment on something that has not been approved..?
because... i have ezabel powers.
cause he's the other approver on the site. if i'm not around, it's his job.
Hey Ian..can I be an approver too??
riiiiiiiight...when i get skinny...
yeah, i'm really debating whether or not to post this. i mean, i want to post something, cause it's been a few days, but this story is kinda too much like one of those forwarded emails... what do you think, matt?
it's not a forwarded email.. oh but people can go and take stories from the onion.com and post that ? i don't get it !!!
yeah, posting something from the onion is different, because it's not something that people just forward and forward and forward and forward until you're so sick of seeing it that you just delete any emails that look similar to it. this story just has that same ... "feeling" about it. the story with a moral that might be fiction, might be non-fiction, but no one can tell.
i don't see any harm in posting it this ONE time :) i just don't want to see it become a regular occurrence that we are seeing these "is it real, or just an attempt at a tear jerker" stories on eZabel.
yea well thats what ian calls your post from the onion .. "fiction or non fiction" .. so basically the same thing... plus this was never agreed upon to be a forwarded email.. could i have not written this myself..?
Because this one seems to be written by someone who sounds somewhat smart and has good writing skills. :)
of course you could have written it yourself, and i would have had absolutely no problem posting it if you did. like your "Weird Experience" story. i love posting original content on this site.
but, for some reason, this one just "felt" like one of "those" emails. so, sorry, man, i hope there's no hard feelings. it's just hard to strike a balance and make a good decision about what to post and what not to post without changing the "feeling" of this site. but, hey, it's not like i am just overflowing with submissions to post, so i'll take what i can get.
and to tell the truth, without guys like you, and everybody else on this site, i would still be stuck here spending hours trying to find something interesting to post. so, thank you!
your site rocks, everybody loves it. you're right about striking a balance, and i like the fact that different people are posting things all the time now, it keeps it interesting.
