I'd leave it Laura... to my read there's nothing spoilery for anyone who's seen the latter half of Angel season 3 (most UnAmericans are past that point now, right?), and ZoieFinch has been pointed to the NAFDA thread for further discussion of the topic.
Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier
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.

Laura, was it spoilery, or just misplaced. If it's spoilery, I can white-font, but I'd rather not delete. You could just ask Zoie to do it.
I wanted to weigh in on the differing opinion discussion. I have a hard time believing that the Buffistas would ever ban someone for a differing opinion. If so, I would have been banned a couple of times. I've learned some of my hot buttons and do avoid certain topics because of it, but that's what I need to do. For goodness sakes, we have more than 600 registered users on this board. If we all agreed, this would be an extremely boring place. So, anyway, I've read both hashes of this discussion...both here and at WX. I think the Buffistas are one of, if not the, most conscientious and fair communities on-line. I think that the events of this week have proven that we'll stay that way for a very long time.
I wasn't sure where unAmericans were with Angel. Just being cautious.
We've just had an exhausting and draining fight. I don't want to try to change anything else right now. I just want to rest for awhile.
I'm with Betsy.
Caroma, FWIW, you're certainly more than welcome to come back to Natter. I remember the discussion in question, and threw my 2 cents in here and there. I think you're right that you are in a minority here politically, and I can grasp how that's a tough spot to be in sometimes. That discussion did get out of hand, and I'm glad that all parties involved recognized this and backed away when they did. I hppe you didn't feel that you had to back out of that thread for other people's comfort, and that if you're feeling more comfortable now, you'll reconsider.
But, unlike the current situation, it was a mature, reasoned response to a situation that had gone off the rails. And really, that's all we ask, isn't it?

I think it's more like:
And the music (and who can blame it) swells...
I, for one (or many) am so glad to have differing opinions. If we didn't, damn would it be booooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggg!!
B#1: I liked blah blah.
B#2: I did, too.
B#3-645: So did we! We have nothing bad to say! We are all so foamy and fun and give the best presents and I don't disagree with anything!!
Blech.
I don't know Aimee, I like the presents part.
So, do we have a title yet?
