I haven’t visited the FF thread lately due to a combination of limited time and a preference to avoid conflict. I didn’t see the posts that recently offended. The procedures established can and will protect this cherished community. Thanks to the stompies, and the old and new members who considered the options so carefully. I am a very tolerant person in many ways, but I don’t tolerate disrespect IRL and I would flee rapidly from a board that allowed that behavior. Peace and love in the New Year to my dear Buffistas.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I have a question. Has anyone been suspended before?

I thought averagejoe was suspended, but I just checked and he's still active. So the answer is - no one else that I'm aware of.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yes. Christiandollarstore was suspended. And he even sent an e-mail in reply to the effect of "oh. okay then."

Right - I missed that excitement.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Given the taunting nature of the troll's final post, would it be appropriate to delete the post? It would take away that certain 'nyah-nyah, I got the last word' feeling.
What a twerp. We disagree with each other all the time. Besides, I would hardly call Buffista discussions 'sanitized.'

Now tagless for your comfort.
I always find it amusing that folks pull the "big brother" argument when they get banned from a community. I thought this decision was reached rationally and with a wide consensus. I guess some people feel that free speech comes without the "responsible for what you say" stuff attached.

Leave it. I prefer that to the This Post has been deleted... which is more glaring. I don't expect to hear anything further.
