Bwaah, Shawn!
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Our wings are not tired.
Should I stompy send a polite personal note at this point? Was that the 1st step after refusing to feed?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Time for a warning?
Consistent demon-like behavior may earn a warning from the Stompy Feet. If you don't listen to the warning, you will be suspended for two months. And if you come back unreformed, you will be banned. Banning is rare and very much a last resort.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I think a polite, yet firm, note from an admin type would be appropriate at this point. BTW, I responded to ted's response to my Bismarck post (which was just fine) in a way that I hope sets a good example. Ted's post was perfectly polite and well-stated, and offered up good food for thought--I don't mind having my statements questioned in that way.

I noted and appreciated that, Anne.

The thoughtful posts serve as a nice example. That hopefully will work to demonstrate how things are done in this here place.
edit - and what Jon said - thanks.

I approve of announcing all new threads except continuations in the Press thread, and of adding [closed] tags to dead threads.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Actually, now that I've thought of it a bit, maybe [archive] instead of [closed].

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think we should use [archive] since we have an archive, and those threads aren't there. It might be confusing.

Good point. [closed] it is, then.
