Ah ha! That's where it is! Now if my dial-up connection at home doesn't crap out.

Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier
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.

2) If we do build a user filter, can we please consider NOT naming it marcie? I am not at all comfortable with applying the connotations from the show episode to our actions here. Are we trying to painfully alienate and ignore someone to the point of invisibility? Do we want filtered users to feel like Marcie? I don't think so, I think we're talking more about our personal comfort levels. So perhaps could we find a better name? I wasn't in on the original discussion, so apologies for not hitting the topic then.
I don't care so much about the name, I just wanted to point out that there are both polite and rude ways to use such a filter. If you tell someone you've Marcied them, that's rude--I'd even say it's bating someone & likely to get some of us pissed off (including me). The point of the filter is to silently shuffle someone in there so they don't get your blood pressure roiling.

Agreed. We could add 'discreet, for your protection', but for the persistent image of a woman on Prozac running along a beach somewhere.
Steph, what's this extra section you said was missing?
I did? I think you have me confused with another witty and sexy Buffista.
I think SA said she wanted a section along the lines of this, twixt the Normal Again question and the Wishverse/Birthdayverse Qs:
Q: Are there any other AUs I should know about?
A: Yep -- the wishverse and the Birthdayverse
Was there another Bitches thread name already in the queue?
I think--think!--we've finally arm wrestled each other to No More Chick Pit For You. Don't take just my word for it, though.
Wasn't there a line in the AU question about the Land of Perpetual Wednesday and the Crazy Melty Land? And the World Without Shrimp?
But those have never had an actual episode set in them....

Yeah, 'cause that makes me think of the dude called Jack.
Through the joys of participatory politics, we, the Bitches, have decided on "Is Everyone Here Very Stoned" for the next Thread title.
God, it great living in a democracy/republic/place we yell really loudly.
