Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Mieskie and Caroma as well, Kat.

AH! see. My memory? She is faulty.
And looking at that list, maybe our bureau warnings have a different sort of effect?
Also, thank you to Strega for fact checking me because not only do I have a bad memory and am a notorious skimmer, but it was midnight, 3 hours past my usual bedtime.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I could admit to being irritated AT ANY TIME! You don't know!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Did I ask for Allyson to be warned at some point? Searching turned out to be too hard and I got all caught up in past Drama and whatnot.

I don't think so. In all those cases, I don't see it as the warning that's driven them away, but the fact that they were who they were (in this community context, at least) in the first place. Bon and Allyson said "hey, this is serious for the community; I Must Chill" in a way that they didn't and never would've.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I think a couple of people wielded the warny stick, right after we instituted the policy, but that it didn't get to the Actual Implementation of the warny stick till Caroma had her meltdown. Everybody else just waved it around, like svelte and non-mustachoied Teddy Roosevelts.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
See, in my head, Wolfram was warned and then became a good poster, but perhaps it was just in thread warning, like bon bon (which I don't remember at all!)

And actually, I think that's why our current system works: People who care enough to be part of the community respond to the in-thread and general waving of the warny stick. At the same time, we have a formal procedure for people who don't get it, or don't want to.
Go team us.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
OK, that was genuinely weird; I saw a bunch of new posts, checked, and saw my name on a post I didn't make and didn't know about. Now, that's what a call a genuine OMGWTF? moment, first thing in the morning.
I think Perkins and I accidentally got warped through some sort of bizzarroland internet ST:TNG-type wormhole, or something....
