Somebody needs to fill in the first two attributions on this one:
meara: They called a bomb threat in over a week in advance??? That's very strange....
amych: Calling in the threat was on their to-do list and they didn't want to forget in the mad rush of actually planting the bomb?
Jacqueline: Okay, obviously that’s not funny at all, except for being fucking hysterical. God knows that if I were a mad bomber, I’d have to do it that way. Then they’d probably find my bomb, inert and un-detonated, with the wrong size batteries crammed into it wrong way round and a Post-It stuck to the top saying "1. Call in threat. 2. Wash capoeira pants. 3. CAT FOOD!!!!"

The second (to-do list) was me. I'm not sure who the first one was.
I think the top was meara.

"I'm a Plagiarist! Love Me!"
"My Hero is Good and Shiny and Noble and Don't You Dare Write Him Any Other Way!"
"I Don't Care How Much of Your Time and Money You Put Into This Website, Because I Have Unending Complaints"
"Psychotic Yankees I Have Known"
"Hey, Isn't Slash Just Porn, Anyway?"
"Hey, Isn't Fan Fiction Just Porn, Anyway?"
"I'll Feminize/Demonize That Male/Female Character if I Want To!"
"Who Says You Have to Know About Sex to Write Sex?"
"If You Criticize My Writing, I'll Kill Myself and It'll Be Your Fault!"
"Why Should I Spell-Check -- It's Only Fan Fiction"
"That Was Great! Where's the Sequel?"
"Seriously, Where the HELL IS THE SEQUEL?"
"What Do You Mean, There's No Sequel?"
"Hey, You Look Helpful. Can I Ask You Inane Questions?"
"I Could Obviously Build a Better Site, But I Would Never Waste My Time Doing That"
"You Slash People are So Sick and Twisted"
"You Gen People are So Deluded and Boring"
"You People Who Put Female Characters in My Slash are Just Evil"
"But It's Okay To Stalk Actors If I Really, Really Love Them, Right?"
"I Am the Moderator! Get Out of the Way; Here Comes My Ego"
"Web Design Guaranteed to Make You Gouge Out Your Own Eyes"
and the grand finale, "Why Are You So Upset? It's Just a TV Show. Of Course, If You Say Something I Don't Like, I'll Start a Flame War That Crosses Six Countries Before Breakfast."
Fred Pete, re: mean emails:
Or respond with surrealism.

Bwahhhaha. You guys are so funny!
Can't believe those fandom titles. I mean I believe you but...what are these people thinking?!

(Edit by DX: I'm not sure why, but it wasn't white in Netscape (see following posts), so I'm just going to leave the Nilly for the recap if anybody wants to read it. And you should.)
Emily, in natter:
Because, really, bad writing does nothing for me.
It's not like, "Oh, yeah, baby, splice those commas!
Show me that throbbing purple prose! Twist those
characters beyond recognition, oooh!"
ookay, with the strange margins. I hope this fixes it.
