oh wait, Steph, it wasn't the secret bitch cabal that was running the board, it was the ACTIVIST bitch cabal. And as I reread that thread I am reminded of the fact that you were, according to that poster, a founding member. So you probably already have the decoder ring.
If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

Maybe it should be called the inactive activist bitch cabal?

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
it wasn't the secret bitch cabal that was running the board, it was the ACTIVIST bitch cabal.
I wasn't around when that was originally posted, but I have to say that it was beautifully written and I can understand the perspective. When it comes to having an opinion one way or another on the subject, I really don't care.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Yeah, and this might not be the funniest running joke on earth.
(Mind you, I'm not going to start a big kerfuffle to ban it and deem it demonic and stuff, but imho it's making fun of something serious and upsetting -- and its gotten old.)

My activist ring is on my right hand as I type, actually. My secret cabal ring....well, I can't tell you where it is, because it's secret.

I didn't pick up on the "making fun of something not funny" aspect, but since you say it is, well ok. When it comes to board politics I like to stay out of the way. I was initially just trying to say that the wording of the post, minus the subject, was beautiful. The other stuff was mostly a post script.

Joking about it is way better than either stomping off, or crying about it.
