So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

Promising to speak out in the classroom loudly and frequently from now on.
But don't feel pressured. Just get on being comfortable and saying as much or as little of whatever you want to say.
And Jim? What did you mean?
Edit: not to be here, clearly.

Our wings are not tired.
It looks like a portion of the thousands of messages I missed in my brief absence were of the unpleasant nature. Just as happy to have missed it since this is my non-confrontational happy place.
I have elected to use my personal MARCIE filter to avoid posting that is not entertaining. I skip over quarrelsome posts the way that others may skip over dieting or political posts. It is no biggee since the overwhelming majority of posts are interesting.
Peace.

Have we all gone mad? This strikes me as totally out of proportion. We had one possible troll. We've had worse. This community functions because we don't define strict rules or codes of behaviour. Frankly, if we're gonna get trolled to death then there's nowt we can do to avoid it. Let's look back a bit - I can remember a time when a member of the community made seriously hurtful remarks about another - like "your nation should be exterminated" offensive - and we dealt with it in a civilised way - we remonstrated, then we ignored it.
What I'm saying is do not feed the energy creature. I think we (as buffistas) are in more danger of becoming a hideous CoW-type clique, scared to death of newbies and change, than we are of a Bronze Beta-style meltdown.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Jim is wise.
I like Jim.
We must chill.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Jim has spoken. Let it be so.

I am chilling.
I think I probably votes 'yes, soon' to the Foamies.
