BTW, please add my winner vote for Dave to your list in Edgic. He's my favorite contestant left, which is a more valid reason for picking him as the winner
than 80% of everyone else's picks.
I just remember that in Fiji, which for my money had the most clear-cut winner from so early on, it was still pretty enjoyable. So I don't even know if the
editing is to blame. But it just used to be civil, aside from the occasional OTT CC post and they were nothing compared to a lot of the crap you see nowadays.
It was like the one topic that avoided the whole Sucks mentality and now it not only embraces it, it's dominated by it. I never meant to jump ship but I
just can't participate in it these days--it's just too draining. Just the same people being condescending and taking analysis of a reality show to
pathetic new lows; the same people feeding into it by being unable to ignore it; and then GF and OTH and a few others adding an occasional semblance of sanity.
Edgic used to be free of the Sucks mentality. Now it's a free-for-all with trolls and spoiled sucksters being allowed to run rampant. What Edgic needs
is a MODERATOR. I sent a PM to Anti, volunteering my services. I got no response. I used Trix as a reference and I had flf going to bat for me too. Still
nothing. Do you have any pull with Anti ? I promise I'll keep my "slash and burn" moderating policy to "reasonable" levels.
At what point did Edgic officially stop being fun?

Edgic as we knew it is pretty much DEAD. There's a lack of quality participants. There's a lack of ongoing leadership. There's a lack of a
moderator to combat the trolls and the spoilers and the stupid fights.
The godawful editing the last several seasons has contributed mightily to the slow agonizing death of Edgic. China had good editing, Edgic just blew it.
Micronesia's edit was much too lopsided against the fans. Survivor Gabon was TERRIBLE. Tocantins had good editing compared to lousy seasons like Fiji and
CI and Gabon. Survivor Samoa has also been TERRIBLE once SEG directed the editors to devote 75% of the airtime to that Fat Troll RussHole.
I have a feeling that this is the last season for Edgic. Warrior, flf and Phoenix probably want to back off from Edgic, and I cannot blame them at all for
this. Another thread may be started to discuss editing and it may use terms like OTT and CP but it won't be "Edgic". And that's fine by me.
IMHO Edgic has run it's course.

Haha, I wish, although I'd be happy to be a reference if need be. I think he hates me less than he does most of the non-OT crowd if it means anything.
