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."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm pretty sure I first came here after that other site had already been created but it still gives me the motts when I see it mentioned.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't mind TV Tropes at all. TV Tropes and Gus's Gusness here are two separate things.

What Polter says. It hardly seems worth the grief and angst people are holding onto.

Except the grief and the angst represent real hurt feelings.

But being continually outraged doesn't seem to add value to life. Your value may vary, naturally.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Except the grief and the angst represent real hurt feelings.
This. I mean, it'd be nice if it didn't bring up feelings still, but it does.

But to be dismissive of what people do feel seems a bit callous.
