I think that it's been a trend with people from blogs sounding silly when they post here, hyrcollective first now ACL.
Blogs and fora are really quite different. Blogs thrive when they have a very strong point of view, and the content is that of the blogger. Fora are like a bar. You go, you shoot the ****, but on any good forum, no single personality dominates. This goes for the admins and moderators as well, who are like the bartenders. It's sometimes hard to go from one medium to the other. Re. earnestness. I've got nothing against this, but it's important to be able to step away from yourself once in a while, look, and say "Seriously, sometimes I am a huge ****." Keeps you close to the ground.
