.....this is why I'm never going to be a stompy, isn't it.
I like the idea of a stompy pixie wench. With wee bovver boots, presumably.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

So can I change the natter title to something less stupid?
Oh, and has anyone heard from GusThreadkiller since my bout of power madness?

Are you requesting the authority, or just a vote of confidence?

I don't need no stinkin' authority!
Confidence, on the other hand...

That's a big part of our culture here whether Kat likes it or not.
Um, not really about me. I'm not the one who proposed it. I'm not part of a secret bitch cabal that forced Beverly to propose it.
I frankly don't give a shit one way or the other, but I will say people take it all Very Seriously and the sense that each thread needs to show how pithy and clever we are is something I'm done with.
So, please, don't toss my name about, David, as if it's all about me.

Kat, I don't think it's about you. I don't think you're the problem or the issue at all. I think you don't like thead titles though. That was the opinion you expressed. I've never seen you espouse anything in here except a meta non-title. I used your name because I was responding to your opinion. Did I need to quote you specifically? Because it did seem clear that you disliked the names altogether. I don't think that's a misrepresentation.

There's a secret bitch cabal? Damn. I'm always the last to know.

I think that thread naming is getting boring, mostly, and for that reason I'd be happy with numbers or randomly-generated names. But I would disagree that the thread-naming process itself has gotten too contentious to do. (I think the people who objected to "Older than Jesus" did so in a calm way.)

Yes. I can see how my choice of preference of Older Than Jesus is a meta non title, or that it shows my lack of preference for "real" names. Ditto my statedsupport of 33 1/3. So I'm the wrong strawman to look for.
But then again, whatever.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
The next time we come up with a title I find disrespectful, annoying , irritating (I'm looking at you, combo Buffy/Angel thread) I'll be sure to put the kaibosh on it.
I think there's a difference between disrespectful and annoying. Personally, I tend to be rather irreverent about religion, so I think that the Jesus titles are funny. However, I completely respect and understand that some people find them offensive, and therefore suggest that we not use them (I typed "sue them". heh. subconscious lawyering)
randomly-generated names.
we could pick a random time (say 3:15) and name the thread using the quote that appears at that time. Not the exact quote, per se, but that's the basis. Or something else.
