It's not sad, really. When people leave an office job, people don't talk about how great Bob was because he always handed in his paperwork on time, or always let you borrow his pen, but they'll talk about the time Mike got pissed at the office party and danced on the table naked.
Why?
- The former is an ongoing thing, the latter is a singular event.
- The former is a regular thing, the latter is a bit of a mental thing.
- The former is boring, the latter is entertaining.
When you reminisce with someone about school or summat (don't wanna hear how you hated school or got no mates or anything, this is both hypothetical and rhetorical) do you talk about the numerous times you got B grades in Physics, or do you talk about that time you proved the teacher wrong and made them look like an idiot?
There's nothing wrong with talking about Doree. It was a historical event as far as the Dojo goes, and whilst it all ended in utter disappointment, it was an exciting time. Not only is it undeniable, but it's a much fonder memory than the time that so and so put up a spambot filter or when they updated all the dead links on the main site.
