So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Wow. Insufferable, that one.

This troll specifically thrives on negative attention, like a spoiled two-year-old throwing a tantrum. Total relentless shunning would work fine eventually if we could get across-the forum cooperation, but I don't think it's feasible with all the personalities involved.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But he's abandoned forums before--what made him do so then?

I couldn't say - he's unfortunately never abandoned a forum I've been a part of.

Dammit.

Brad Renfro then, also then, and now. Honestly, without the blurb, I'd not have known.

I can't find my bathing suit.

Sorry, that's all I've got right now.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Ack, Frank. That sucks.

Aaaand vw's car just died. On an on-ramp. She's waiting for AAA and the state police. What a not-great day to be a Somervillain. Especially with this news about Theo's swimsuit!

I see the Bush Administration is trying to defend it's policy of unauthorized wiretaps by saying that the FISA courts are too slow.

Glad to see that the end of the article quotes someone that points out that the defense is complete bullshit since FISA can grant approval retroactively.

Also, if you let the president get away with it with that defense, then that means any president can authorize spying on citizens at any time without any oversight at all.
