I wasn't sure where unAmericans were with Angel. Just being cautious.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
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...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
So, do we have a title yet?

Hmmm, it might "as the music..."
Somebody should check before we commit this to HTML. Anybody got the script handy?

My heart is still with "Give me something to sing about" for the thread title.
