I just mean that I *know* I'm tribal, and if it were up to me, we'd be Buffista Island. I like my people and ONLY my people.
Oh, sure, me too. But the nasty problem is all the people who haven't figured out they're my people just yet, and therefore aren't Buffistas yet or are, in best situations, just-registered Buffistas. Like Deena, for one example, who we've only gotten fairly recently but about whom I now feel as possessive as I do for any of my Buffista Crushes.
You're not alone, there, Hec. Not by a longshot. I don't really care, though, honestly. It's not like the world isn't filled with Mieskes, or even Allysons, truth be told.
I think Schmoker is mieskie, too. Any textual analysis would yield some too-close-for-comfort similarities.
And I'd use MARCIE, only b/c I don't have time or patience for bullshit.
If it's about the whole community, I do think that there has been some circling the wagons, but as I said elsewhere, I think it's growing pains. All in all, most of the new members *have* been able to integrate themselves just fine.
We call ourselves a community. We behave like one. Which means that there are *people* here, not just faceless monikers, and there are some basic rules of polite interaction that have guided our behavior. I'd prefer to not see that change.
or even Allysons, truth be told.
Hold on there. Allyson, you are truly an original.
Thing is, if Schmoker
is
mieskye, then he is breaking our community standards by posting while banned, regardless of the content of his posts.
I've been a Buffistas for a while. I think that I'm moderately well integrated. I would
never
insult Shawn the way I might insult Teppy or Trudy or SA or connie. Because I have not developed that kind of relationship with Shawn.

But we'd have to prove that he is mieskie. And that's very tricky.

I was finally swayed by the news that they're both from Cleveland. Or, alternatively, maybe it's just something about Cleveland.

Here, here.
I wouldn't also feel comfortable plunking myself down in Bitches and posting like I've been there all along. I'd want to lurk first and get to know the lay of the land before I posted, even though I know most of the people who post there.
