We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Embitca, thanks for showing up and responding. That's most gracious.

I do entirely agree that the internet is public. So while I understand that it's possible (even likely) that anything I say may be taken out of context, crossposted from here to Sunday, and mocked, that doesn't mean I have to like it.

I guess I'm strange in that I do draw distinctions between what's possible and what's polite. And maybe I draw lines where other people wouldn't.

But thanks for coming by.

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

Oh! Oh! How quickly she defects.

(shh)

(I'm just setting myself up to poke at her Crow/LFN WIP)

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

I thought that given the premise, the Buffy of "Thaw" made sense, but I can understand why you wouldn't. Hm. I will see if I can think up other things.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Katie, if you're really interested in that whole argument, there was a huge discussion about these issues on Glass_Onion a while back, where people tried to resolve what was appropriate to cross-post to the list versus LJs and blogs and whatnot.

Yeah, I'll keep that in mind - thanks. (Of course, then I'll be sitting on my hands wanting to reply to months-old discussion, which is even worse, but there you go.)

Oh, and no, ita, I don't mind at all. When you start inserting rude secret messages, then I'll mind.

Can I just plead that you not link us in fandom_wank? The point may be moot, but...I'm feeling a little isolationist today.

Well, I think I explained in my LJ comments yesterday why I decided against linking to fandom_wank so I'm surprised many of you are so worried about it now. But, I can't really stop someone else from deciding to do it if they find it worthy. Although honestly I don't see why they would unless we start calling each other names. And you all are too polite for that. (I, on the other hand, am not LOL)

Consuela, I honestly don't see that I took the remarks I quoted out of context. In fact, I was careful to preserve most of her two posts rather than just quoting the lines I personally found offensive. But yes, we do draw lines in different places. At any rate, thanks for the welcome.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Well, I meant the more general context of the Buffista community and our knowledge of Theodosia as an individual, not just a poster on a random board, if you see what I mean.

I didn't mean to imply that you implied she said something she didn't. (Can I add another "imply" in there somewhere?)

It's just that this is a community familiar with itself, and so our responses to one of our own may be different from a stranger's responses. Does that make any sense?

Bugger me sideways.

Was gonna go looking for you, but now I'm thinking that there's not enough love to go around today.
