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.

Thanks for all the fish.

BWAH! I like it, Jon.

And, listen, I'll delete if I'm mistaken or out of line, but I get the huge impression that Schmoker and mieskye are the same person.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I don't think so, Elena. Just similar attitudes.

Thanks for all the fish.

Yeah? Okay, but they have very similar posting styles and are both in Ohio.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ooo, one thing on the official stompy foot warnings: I would greatly prefer something not silly, and not too distracting. And I would greatly prefer if we left the wording up to the stompy foot, so that they could address the particular poster & the particular issue, instead of just making a general stompy statement.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A gavel gives me FOX Firefly board flashbacks. How about just "Official Message" or something in the Buffy font?

Me like, Jesse.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Jon, I love the stompy foot. Can we find one that has engraving lines, rather than a photo?

Loving the stompy foot. That's ... circular!

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

Okay, but they have very similar posting styles and are both in Ohio.

And both frequent the same two threads, make the same arguments for Firefly's demise based on ratings, transgress the limits of polite sexual innuendo, react unapologetically to offending, have the same ability to gall people into responding despite DnFtEC. I say we have a suspension violation, though the people who wanted to give /mieskie and mmmieskie a chance to prove themselves will probably disagree.

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

Nnner, Nou, I'd say there's a difference between an obvious clone, with the same name only an extra punctuation mark, and someone who just reads similar to them to you. (Grammatical elegance? Out the window, baby.)

Did Schmoker start posting just after mieskie left, that's the sort of thing you'd need to begin to have hard evidence. And if he says he isn't m., then... I don't know, I think if there's to be any trial it should be done separately.

Thanks for all the fish.

I don't believe that anyone has asked him. If it's not overstepping my bounds - Schmoker, did you previously post here as mieskye?
