Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

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

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.

Thanks for all the fish.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I think Schmoker is mieskie, too. Any textual analysis would yield some too-close-for-comfort similarities.

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.

Exactly.

Giles: "Yes, I understand, but it's imperative that I see her. Here. (listens) Well... when will you? (listens) Yeah, well, you are her Watcher. I'd expect her to at least check in to... (listens) Yes, I'm aware that there's a great deal of demonic activity in Cleveland."

Thanks for all the fish.

I asked. That's a start.
