MARCIE
Can someone explain this to me? I feel like I missed a memo.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

MARCIE is what we decided to call our ENUF filter, when we get around to having one. Because it turns people we want to ignore invisible.

Ah.
Although, the idea of such a thing here makes me kinda sad.

In this particular instance, would inviting him over to this thread have even made a difference? Sure, he was all polite and dignified in his earlier posts here, but did he really say anything that would have changed anyone's mind about the suspension? What I took from his "defense" was that he didn't feel like he was responsible for anyone's negative reaction and that how we chose to react wasn't really his problem. The two alternatives he offered resultwise, were that he either would have grown bored of us and left, or that eventually it would have come to this anyway. Nowhere did I see him offer up that had he realized how seriously this all was being taken, that he would have tried to acclimate hinself better to the community by altering the tone of his posts. The fact that this whole discussion was even taking place to such a degree seemed to provide him great amusement, and he couldn't resist getting a final word in there, designed to make people feel guilty.
And as far as him not knowing this thread was here...hey, I found it. Noticed that there were an odd amount of new posts here, figured somebody was talking about something, and came on over to check it out.

Bing. As someone else pointed out, it's in the right-hand column for a reason.

It seems like there's a pretty wide majority of 'yes' to the new (Music amd Movies) threads.
Should we leave it open for a while longer (to enable different-time-zones Buffistas taking a vote)? And if/when we do, how should we close the vote? Should there be an official announcement (like on the opening)? Should we just announce here: 'let the thread(s) names discussion begin'?
I'm leaving soon (hopefully. I can barely keep my eyes open), but the results so far are 12 for 'yes', 2 for 'no', 4 neutrals and 3 for 'yes to Music and not to Movies'.
See y'all sometime before the week after next.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
It was, though ugly on the surface, a thing of beauty in its resolution. I really love this place. Even if I did just try to register as James Cameron.
By the way, Shell is very funny.
Also, Shell is going to die. Painfully.That is all. :)
