Spike's Bitches 29: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
got a question for the hivemind -- what do you do when someone that you don't know makes a racist comment on a friend's livejournal? I don't know who the commenter is, but I've seen them on a bunch of friends lists. It may or may not be someone I know/have met, but I don't know who it is.
I'm pretty chill when it comes to race, I joke about it a lot, and my friends know that they can joke around me, but it really bothers me when people who don't know me make jokes (which in this case was unnecessary and not funny). Should I comment? and what should I say besides "WTF, you insensitive bastard".
I would give the person whose LJ it was a chance to respond, then if they didn't, respond myself. Depending on my relationship with the friend, I might tell them I was going to do so, but usually I wouldn't bother.
eta: Please schedule any available interview ~ma for me for Wednesday evening, when I'll be speaking to two people in NZ about a job. ::runs away to cram NZ law into wee brain::
YAY!
I think I would comment, but in a very restrained way - all depending on how bad the initial comment was, I guess.
She much prefers to bite the tubes until there's a hole and then making icky faces because she just got a mouthful of Neosporin. Or Desitin. Whichever.
Hey, that's how Lucy does it too! Dogs and toddlers have a kind of similar outlook on like, I think. Em, OTOH, will likely grow out of it sooner or later.
welcome back, bug! good to see you.
appropriate ~ma to them as needs such. too many buffistas needing ~ma lately.
the vampire toddler Neosporin-feratu is making me laugh.
For billytea and other zoo-istas: we went to the National Zoo this weekend. Saw various buffista-associated animals including 2 capybara, naked mole rats, baby panda. Photos start here: [link]

Get that Emeline a tube of kiddie toothpaste to gnaw on - less icky whe she breaks through. (Not grownup toothpaste as flouride isn't good for you in big bites).
Oooh, flea, excellent critter pictures. Also, lovely picture of you and your critters (present and incipient).

That's a hard one, because some people aren't going to be worth your keystrokes or your mellow.
If you decide you want to address it Vortex, maybe you could make reply with something along the lines of, "I've been trying to assume you meant to be funny and inoffensive with this remark, but it just keeps striking me otherwise."

We've had 'em in Columbus for a long time, IJS.
