I could be beneath PMM if she liked.

More topically, we're less than 2000 posts away from a new Bitches thread, and seeing as they racked up over five hundred fucking posts in the last 24 hours (all of which I read in the last 1 hour), I was wondering if there was any thinking about names going on.

Do the Bitches have a preferred title?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I don't think it's been discussed yet. I'll broach it over there and maybe we can cut down on the thread-naming chatter over here.

Jonathan Will Always Be My Hero

Good points, and thanks for them. I tend to be kind of snarky in general, and I know that. And I try hard to just shrug my shoulders if someone gets goofy, and then move on. I have been reading here for quite a while before delurking, so I know the drill. And I have seen people get in flame wars, and it is always to no purpose.

I need to learn to ignore posts sometimes, too. I can be too touchy when I feel a post of mine has been mischaracterized, so I need to sometimes just forget it and not respond at all. I'm a big mouth. So that's hard. I'll learn, tho.

But I still gotta say, the Six People comment was, I believe, totally fair and accurate as a hyperbolic joke on the relative smallness of Buffy's audience. Of any post I have ever made, it may have been the last one I would have believed could have been taken as an insult. So it kind of got my back up.

t Last word and all.

Thanks here for talking me down from it. :)
