Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

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.

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 look more rad than Lutheranism

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.

Up with the sun

might stand a chance of following and participating in a movie-centric conversation in a Movie thread, whereas the chances of me spotting such a convesation in Natter, let alone participating, are tiny.

Fay is me. I'm not subscribed to Natter simply because I know I can't keep up, but I would love to discuss movies and music with you guys. And allowing a TTT thread but not a general films one is kinda insane troll logic.

Gone and soon forgotten.

That whole Cameron thing is a good example of why I probably should have been banned. I was just trying to needle you for ripping him, and that type of little gibe is apparently totally unacceptable (although it's apprently OK to rip Cameron to shreds, which seems a paradox to me).

Since I thought it was just a little jab at you for fun, I wasn't likely to change. And since you thought it was a horrible and insensitive remark, probably was a good idea to get rid of me.

I'm for new Movies and Music threads - I still think that if a thread was created without a real necessity to it, it'll just not get much volume, and the 'reality' will sort of sort itself. It wasn't proved yet (because every new thread got its share of posters), though, but I still think so.

[Edit: yes, I'm not supposed to be here already. Yes, I had to come back to re-finish things for the conference. Yes, I spice my computer time with the Buffistas in order to whine less. Oh, and look, it didn't help much...]
