He always says he'll go, then he comes back and jerks on the last words.
I wouldn't also feel comfortable plunking myself down in Bitches and posting like I've been there all along.
But we'd like you to plunk yourself over there, Sue.
I'll second Ple's opinion that Allyson is inimitable and probably unprecedented.
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.
I'm glad I can take that as a compliment. You can insult me anytime, baybee.
I still vote Island.
I still vote Island.
Unfortunately, I don't think this as a possibe vote.
Not true! They sell islands on eBay now. I bet we could afford one.
I'll second Ple's opinion that Allyson is inimitable and probably unprecedented.
That'd be Burrell, I think.
But I totally agree.

Clearly, y'all have not seen me imitate Allyson.
That'd be Burrell, I think.
But I totally agree.
Anytime I'm in agreement with both Burrell and Ple at the same time then I'm certain of my rightness.
Clearly, y'all have not seen me imitate Allyson.
I'd buy tickets. If we buy tickets will you come to the F2F and imitate each other?
Clearly, y'all have not seen me imitate Allyson.
Yeah, but you're taller.

I don't want to make a long post about community standards or the way people interact on the net, because I'm at work and I'm supposed to be... uh, working, but I'll just say that I've felt uncomfortable reading what looks like a witchhunt for the last hours. There's more than one person in the world who thinks that "Firefly"'s ratings were bad, or that "Buffy"'s ratings aren't all that, or that the unwashed masses are stupid; actually, there's even the chance that there's more than one person in Cleveland who holds those opinions (and incidentally, how stupid would someone had to be if he was trying to sneak into a posting board where he's been banned, and then confesses that he's from the *exact* same city?). Pointing fingers at someone who makes you uncomfortable and accuse him automatically of being an impersonator does nothing to help solve things.
I understand that this is an established community, and I've tried to behave in a adequately circumspect way (actually, there have even been chances where I've felt some condescension towards me from people with lower userIDs and I've shut up because of that, but maybe that's my own issue), but I am thinking that if the chance of talking to people *vastly* different than you makes the community that uncomfortable, then maybe you should have made the website private to begin with.
