I totally used that incident to win arguments on Daily Kos after Olbermann pulled the first, to my knowledge, BNF Internet Flounceoff. Because they felt so betrayed...and I was all "Have you *met* the internet?" (The Gus incident...not the Asspull Incident...Henry Fonda was in that one.Right?) I still feel a little sad catching my hero acting like an eighth grade girl, though. Definitely "a swing and a miss,"
She growls?! You made her so she growls?!
Buffy ,'Get It Done'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Ann, that's a ferret.
Henry Fonda was in that one.Right?
Claude Rains, I think.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Still unhappy about that whole thing, aren't I?
I high-five you, my sister!
I can't go a day without seeing a ref to the site. Bad for my blood pressure.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I snarl every damn time I see a reference to that site. Trufax. I don't let go of grudges easily, especially scam-artist/pseudicide grudges.
t edit I don't mean "scam-artist" like he was grifting us; I mean it in the sense that he was a big fat lying liar who lies.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I keep hoping I'll get over the urge to shout at people when they link to the site, but I talk myself down every time. It's disproportionately stressful, though.
The site is not evil. I must focus on that. Well, it is a sort of evil, but that's an entirely different thing.

Punishingly Intricate
There is a letter in the Vine (Tomato Nation advice column) today about a potential pathological liar. Super fascinating to me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The closest I ever came to outing my Buffistadom at work was when someone mentioned TV Tropes and I couldn't keep from snarling. I can't remember specifically how I wiggled out of it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I've just accepted that it'll never happen. Best I can do it bite my tongue and seethe on the inside.
