Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier  

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yep, I like my discussion like I like my drama, with a healthy dash of humor. Now I'm getting all sniffly here.

And now I have a motto for my mother: "I like my conversation like I like my drama, starting with a dead body."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm far less weirded out because her sister is here and is a member of this community than I would be if, say, a 14 year old were posting here unsupervised.

But look at Holli -- she had to convince people she was as young as she was, because otherwise they wouldn't have believed her.

Yes, but I didn't know that until after I'd been here a long time. Had I known earlier? I would've been weirded and possibly I might not have posted a lot when she was around.

So, monkey-grooming gestures all around.

I love Nutty.

Because it bears repeating:

Having been one of the more vocal worrywarts in the wake of Joss' delurk, I think I should mention something encouraging. My misgivings about the membership boom seem to have been largely unwarranted... we've had one obvious troll and one debatable case out of over 200 new members, and been blessed with a much larger number of newbies who've seamlessly joined the discussions with their own polite and insightful points of view.

Also newbies, you are us. And the more you contirbute, the more you are one of us. (One of us! One of us!) So please don't hesitate to contribute to the discussions about the board.

New, fully poseable Author!Knut.

Is anybody else suspicious that our troll has parthenogenetically reproduced?

If I was wrong to post what I've posted in Firefly - dearest stompy feet - feel free to delete it. I have to leave now to see TTT. I couldn't keep my mouth shut. I couldn't keep my fingers still. However, if any of you think it adds fuel to the fire, I bow to your judgment and won't feel badly. Take care, all.

I was thinking the same thing.

If I only had a brain...

Thank you, Cindy. Much appreciated here.
