Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Kristen, about 5 people said you were right, so drop the "wah, no one's listening" thing. You cannot control other's reactions, and being disagreed with does not equal being disrespected.

Back off. You have no idea of what you speak on this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But I figured if I was getting booted anway, I might as well give you a better reason to do it.

Dude, seriously? That's insane troll logic.

t Crap, this made me forget entirely what I was just about to post over in the Buffy thread.

You wouldn't be the first person to rant, Schmoker, far from it. The use of culturally loaded words like Nazi, though, makes people twitch. Just, cool down if you can.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Hm.

I'm cool. I'm going back over the Buffy and Angel threads. Enough ranting. You guys can figure it all out without me now.

Back off. You have no idea of what you speak on this.

I know what I saw in the thread, and from what was posted, K. was overreacting. If there's some big Bronze Beta thing I'm supposed to know about, I'm sorry, but I didn't.

Okay.

First of all, I don't blame anyone for snapping and using language that, in other circunstances, might be considered inflammatory. We all have bad days, etc., etc.

This said... May I suggest that *everybody*, on either side of the fence (and even Stompies) refrain from posting in this thread for at least a couple of hours? Don't post, for any reason. Just go to natter, or bitch in Bitches, or write fanfic, but don't post here. Give some time to chill, take a deep breath, cool off.

In a few hours, or perhaps tomorrow, we'll be able to think about this with cooler heads and deal with it, if there's any need, in a more rational manner. The way things are now, there's an obvious need to "de-escalate" the situation.

Just a suggestion. Not that I have any, you know, authority here or something.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

(Paul, I wholeheartedly subscribe to that idea.)

(And I wish I hadn't been in class for the past few hours.)
