Wash ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
This thread is a focused discussion group. Please see the first post below for the current topic and upcoming book discussions. While natter will inevitably happen, we encourage you to treat this like a virtual book club and try to keep your posts in that spirit.
By consensus, this thread is reopened specifically to discuss Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It will be closed again once that discussion has run its course.
***SPOILER ALERT***
I bet all the people who were so mortally disturbed by the idea of this thread have forgotten about it.
I'm very curious as to why people are watching this thread with such eagerness to declare it dead. Why care so much?
You can't have it both ways. You're castigating the people who were against the thread then for either forgetting all about it OR being obsessed with it.
xpost.
kat, you said you check what you're subscribed to for what's going on, but I got the impression that you didn't have much use for this thread.
I don't. But I read tons of things I don't have much use for and I read pretty widely around both this board and others even if I personally don't comment.
Please stop trying to paint me as an ogre.
Oh, for god's sake...
Someone here is terribly overwrought about this, and it's not me.
I don't know what "it all" is, msbelle.
it all, is naming names, not saying "some Buffistas" which I hate. Honestly I don't get why it came up at all. The thread closing and whether or not the thread was a thorn was being discussed. Neither of those had anything to do with the bookclub I started on LJ.
It seemed pointy, in that Buffistas were joining an lj bookclub, but didn't try this one out.
I don't even know what to think about statements like this. There are many things that I like to - discuss/do/post on the internet about - that I have zero interest in making a part of the entire b.org community.
Excuse me? I'm not the one casting aspersions about people either being forgetful or having it in for the thread.
I'm just being very upfront with you. I disagree with you. Big Fucking Deal. I frankly don't care if the thread stays or not.
But you made a statement I could disprove so I did. That doesn't make me overwrought. But I would like you stop sniping at me.
I think more than one person is being terribly overwrought, and the accusatory tone on all sides can stop now. Sound good?
Bureaucracy is where we get accusatory, people. Photos of cute baby butts notwithstanding.
But I would like you stop sniping and namecalling.
OK. Does this run both ways?
And if nothing else, the high post count will get people to poke their heads in here to see what's going on.
I'd love to try the Guttenberg approach.
I'd love to try the Guttenberg approach.
It does take some of the hassle out of getting the book. And it pretty much guarantees we'll be discussing a classic (or at least an old book.)
