Yup. The old "Let's Make a Deal" problem.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Ooh! And when they talked about Bayesian analysis I actually knew where they were going with it. So that was nice.
I'm talking about Numb3rs, by the way. In case you were wondering what the hell I was exclaiming about.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Now to get myself a loan and a apartment. Gah!
If my experience is any guide, you're going to need more than one loan. But it will all be OK!

The status is NOT quo.
Debet! That's wonderful. I know you are going to be a fantastic teacher, and I'm so happy for you.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Numb3rs was fun tonight. I think it's cute that Charlie can't spell.
Charlie's just cute. I'm happy that he's going to be in Serenity. This means that eventually he'll be turning up at conventions and maybe I'll get to meet him.
By "meet" I mean "stand in the same room with", of course.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Your tag here.
I don't mean to open old wounds, but in B'raxxy a cabal was mentioned and it seemed to spark strong feelings; like someone was joking about something serious. I couldn't quite understand what the issue was. Could someone provide some insight?
I feel like I need a Buffistas History - Cliff's Notes version.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think the last thing (okay, one of the last things) we should do is restate that discussion. I don't want to sound flip, but you should read the link Kat provided and ensuing discussion. I know I couldn't explain it without doing it disservice and antagonising people.

Sadly, there's no Cliff Note's version, but....
t edited because ita explained why an explanation wouldn't happen much better than I did in my explaining what did happen
As a person who has been accused of being an activist poster or to having de facto power, I'm continually amused by the idea that there is an activist Buffista Bitch cabal running the community. I figure since I was accused of being one, and since I should be offended but I'm not, I'm perfectly capable of at least laughing at the concept.
I posted a link somewhere in there to the original kerfuffle which makes good, if lengthy reading.
Surprisingly on reread I didn't post very much at the time. Thus, knocking myself out of the Go14!
Go team having a life! (except not. I'm more busy than life having at this point)
