Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Woohoo! Double the money for me.

You paid double in the first place. You're no richer. Plus -- you're in Michigan.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

ita has a good point, on both counts.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

This laughter is the sole responsibility of the laugher

I forgot to say that we are solely responsible, except in the case of Miracleman, who is controled by either the ferrets, remote controlled zombie robots, and sometimes both.

Pouts.

Now, that is just unfair. Here I was enjoying the laughter and then you took it back! Not Nice, not nice at all.

What is even happening?

Allyson, to me, your posts parsed as "You were inappropriate in what you've said, so despite the fact that you've apologized, I'm going to be inappropriate in return, while I correct you on the error of your ways."

Sean got shirty, and apologized. His first apology sucked. His subsequent one(s?) did not. ita was gracious in her responses. Whatever--they'll take it from there. By the way, I completely agree with your "we are solely responsible for what we post" riff. I'm not here to disagree with it.

But what you said about Sean's career, etc.? It sucked, too. And it didn't suck because it detracted from your point.

I'm sorry you feel that way Cindy.

I didn't think Sean was shirty.

I thought he was violently abusive. But you're right in that the bottom line at this point is that he and ita will deal with it.

Thanks for your input on everything, Allyson. It was really helpful.

'Cause really.... Accusations of violence can only help this situation.

What will help the situation, Sean?
