Ah ha! That's where it is! Now if my dial-up connection at home doesn't crap out.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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

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

Agreed. We could add 'discreet, for your protection', but for the persistent image of a woman on Prozac running along a beach somewhere.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Steph, what's this extra section you said was missing?
I did? I think you have me confused with another witty and sexy Buffista.

Up with the sun
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

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.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
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....

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.
