Discussion: GET RID OF Janeane Garofalo

"Just a reminder; please do not post in all uppercase. You can get your point across without using all uppercase. In internet terms, using uppercase is considered a form of "shouting." It affects other members on this Wiki.

Also, this is a thread about the character/actress. Be careful of your posts and bashing, some of you are treading a very fine line."

"Respectfully hotchafan, I don't believe this reminder was necessary as I didn't see a post in "all uppercase" nor have I seen one yet in this thread... I find that a 'reasonable' mixing of lowercase and uppercase does in fact assist in bringing one's point across, say a ratio of 2:1 or 3:1. Especially in a debate or discussion about something close to the heart, reasonable mixing is acceptable. Believe me, I know a lot of folks that do what you're talking about and it irks me beyond words can say when they type their whole conversation like that, almost ignorantly. I think as an active member of the forums, I would or others would bring attention to the culprit doing this type of shouting... but once again, a reasonable mix would be truer to in-person conversations.... many times I've started off my discussion with lowercase, and then accentuated the parts where I'd actually raise my voice during an in-person discussion with uppercase -- notably though, I think that being this is a Wiki, while I'm happy to finally see the newly added "Edit my post" feature that is now employed, the fact that there is no editing features beyond that makes it difficult... such as *bold*, /italics/ etc... these would replace I think the uppercase where a bold might be, for example. These editing features are what I find ironic to *not* see in a so-called "Wiki", which by definition is a contradictory theme. Heck, even regular old forums have more advanced editing features... Something to think about I'd stress. "

"I think the producers of 24 are embarrassed by their fan base. They accidentally made a show that appealed to the wrong people politically. I don't think they had any idea how popular the show would be with the conservative nation. So, in order to appease all their friends in Hollywood and the liberal establishment, they hire Garofalo and preach to us about global warming. And that's just a start. It's sad really. They are bending over backwards for approval from people who had absolutely nothing to do with the popularity of the show and thumbing it in the face to the fans who did."

"This is a great point -- They do seem to be making an attempt to entertain that part of Hollywood, which is as you know, larger than the conservative part of the town.

Did anyone catch what Janis said last night? "Why don't you just admit you were wrong!?" -- I wrote in the episode thread that I thought this is what we finally see that she was brought on for. It's no secret that the quoted statement has been a slogan for her activist activities -- I swear, she had her agent or somebody guarantee in her contract that she'd get to say something like that or she wouldn't have agreed to be on the show... amongst the previous racial profiling remark she made last week...
