with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Sorry, but it may well be true.

Angel is in exactly zero danger of cancellation. And they're still talking a Buffy spinoff, and I've heard rumors that the animated series is back on. So, not really.

Thrive to spite them

You know what---if you had sounded like that during anyone of your posts in Firefly, no one would have had a problem with you.

If you had responded to any one of the complaints against you in Firefly like this, it wouldn't have gotten out of hand.

But you didn't.

Several people pointed out to you that your humor wasn't getting across, that should have been a sign to pull back and change the way you were posting.

My humor doesn't always come across when I post, because a lot of my humor is in facial expressions and vocal inflections.

Facial expressions and vocal inflections don't come across in type.

Instead, what most people saw was someone who was hostile and baiting and wouldn't not take criticism and instead turned to personal attacks.

Also--program creators have NO SAY in where the programs are placed. None.

And calling someone an "idiot", especially someone you don't know or just met, that's just bad manners.

I guess I misunderstood. I thought *rumors* of a Buffy spin-off or S8 were going around, but that there was really no serious discussion.

I also though Angel wasn't doing very well this season.

Great. I'd like to keep discussing the shows. Thanks for the info.

If I only had a brain...

the Betsy's.

If there are two of me, I wish the other one would take over half the workload. Not to mention this head cold.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I volunteer to be a Betsy!

Probably would have been, had I not been on vacation. Which I still am. Yep.

Don't have the head cold. Instead, eat something spicy for me. But with no tomatoes.

I've suspected there are multiple Betsys, for the sheer volume of knowledge. Although the One True Betsy claims it's Google.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Someone was ripping James Cameron a new
asshole. I defended him and mentioned that I couldn't take the poster too seriously when they couldn't even spell correctly. Since they committed a personal attack on Cameron, I didn't think it was too outrageous to note something about the poster's grammar.

That was me.

If you're James Cameron, I'd like to discuss some of the mean things you said to Kate Winslet.

And by 'discuss', I mean 'disembowel with a butter knife'.

Trying to Nilly the post in which my spelling and grammar were so fucking atrocious. I know Nilly. I am no Nilly.
