Did the Music Thread Question come up again? If not, can I start it? I want a Music Thread. It's our birthday, and we wants it. Like Literary, but with feeling.

Musical Buffistas: We Wants it With Feeling
Just a suggestion. I'm not sure we really need one, but I'm not especially musical.

Cereal to say: How long is Goodbye and Good Riddance staying open? Is it possible/does it make sense/would it be a good idea to change the name to, say, '2003: We're still moaning', and keep talking about the stuff we're talking about in there? Current talk seems to be swinging in the direction of New Year's resolutions, and other new yeary stuff, which I feel is good to have a place to talk about. Despite that not making any sense.

I think there are still some Secret Santa gifts that didn't reach their destination, so there's still a point in keeping Good Riddance open, IMHO.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
For some reason I've had posts doubling themselves recently. Not pressing the 'post' button twice, I swear - certainly not consciously, at least. And yet the post appears twice.
Is this a Fay-specific phenomenon?
edited, with shame, for grammar.

In reading to catch up, there seem to be more 'oops-double post' notices around generally than sometimes, though that may not actually be the case. It hasn't happened to me, though.

Edit: expect that this was.
Note to self: Do not taunt double-post demon or tempt it in your direction. It's tacky and leads to more doubleposts.

Cereal: is that fact that those two posts show up as 14 seonds apart in any way significant?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I think there was a phrase some time back, which said "Do not annoy the Buffistas, for you are an easy target for being slashed."
My old tag was "Do not meddle in the affairs of slashers, for you are cute and look good with other men."
Now, if mieskie Mark II hadn't registered to give a farewell taunting, I might be inclined to give him a second chance. Basically, he's already proven that he's inclined towards that sort of juvenile behavior. IOW, he grabbed his second chance before it was offered, and wasted it.
That said, what happens if someone gets suspended, but genuinely wants to reform their ways and rejoin the community? Is there anything that we as Buffistas could do as a community to help someone with (for example) poor social skills to learn how to join in fair, witty discourse?
Thoughts? Opinions?
