Allyson, Allyson "Firefly 2: You Can't Take the Sky From Me." Dec 19, 2002 10:05:22 am EST.

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...]

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Guys, DNFtEC. Please

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

probably was a good idea to get rid of me.

OK. Bye!

Moving on... I've been convinced to switch my vote on the Movies and Music thread idea. Let's do 'em.

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

probably was a good idea to get rid of me.

Although, apparently, we didn't.

Gone and soon forgotten.

Nah, I'm gone. Just wanted to throw a few posts up here in Admin since I never got the chance to before. Not going to be back once this gets deactivated. Just wanted to defend myself a tad before going. Didn't think you'd mind that much.

I'm not seeing an EC, Jess, though I may if this goes on for much longer.

Michael, you seem like a decent guy in the way you're posting now. I'm sorry this wasn't the right board for you.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

'Ki just say? As I read Allyson's post, it was a riff on a joke on the people who kept posting, expecting Joss would read their letters. It was, in no way, utterly and completely serious; and when contextualised as it should be doesn't pass my personal definition of "personal attack".

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you

(a thread which I was never invited to in order respond to any of this, by the way)

For the new folks (or anyone who may be thinking of delurking), please know that no one needs an invitation to post here. This thread is as open to you as any other on the board.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Because ALL of the Phoenix threads are open to ALL members. If you don't know what the purpose of a given thread is, read the FAQ or the thread header, or ask.

Could we add a link to the bureaucracy thread to the short etiquette?
