[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

egad, why the hell can't Allyson sign it Allyson Beatrice Buffistas.org?!?! Seriously we're being way beyond pedantic to raise an issue with that. To sign her letter in that way is to identify herself with our organization, it isn't claiming to speak for us as a whole.

Well, you don't think it seems that way, but someone might reasonably think it does.

Besides, "way to pedantic" is in our mandate bewteen serial commas and olive salad.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Besides, "way to pedantic"

Way too pedantic.

What. It was just sitting there.

Punishingly Intricate

egad, why the hell can't Allyson sign it Allyson Beatrice Buffistas.org?!?!

to be clear, since I commented, I don't really care

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

The AMPTP already adores blaming the greedy writers for kicking the blue collar workers in the nads. Changing it to the above makes it look like it's all the WGA's fault.

I just want to be careful about the wording.

Our wings are not tired.

I don't have a problem with Allyson, buffistas.org. Any member of my company signs stuff Name, company name. If they are an officer or big cheese they say Name, Big Fancy Title, Company Name. It doesn't say Allyson, Chief Stompy, buffistas.org. Without a title it implies just a lowly member to me.

Can't it say Allyson Beatrice, Fandom's Bitch, B.org?

Also, letter looks good. You do good stuff there missy.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So the person who suggested the change doesn't even feel it is needed?

Just checking.

Maybe I can get a vote for an official title, or something, like:

Allyson Beatrice Cat Herder Buffistas.org

or

Allyson Beatrice Jerk Buffistas.org

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Actually, I believe Jon suggested the change when Allyson asked for input.

We were sure we didn't have to vote about putting up the "we support the writers" sign, but it turned out that there were people who stepped forward with differing opinions.

Our wings are not tired.

We could do a poll with a selection of titles for Allyson! One where people could vote a bunch of times to run up their favorite choice.

It could be like thread-naming. New title every 10,000 posts.

Either that, or someone else gets to be Fandom's Bitch every 10,000 posts.
