User blog comment:Sloopernicus/The Shallowness of the Jeff the Killer Fandom/@comment-5239282-20140503024933

You raise good points, but at this point I'd much rather have the fandom dissipate on its own. It doesn't need all this attention -- positive or negative. I think we'd all be better off that way. Jeff is a sort of severed limb -- it's definitely recognized as apart of our history, but it also has its less meritorious side. Without it, we wouldn't be nearly as popular. Likewise, it harms our reputation when newcomers associate us with the fandom.

We've done all we could to silence it, and at one point we thought we did for good. Unnecessary blog posts such as these really aren't helping. For what it's worth, you raise a lot of good points, though.
