sneaks Plei a nattery hug
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
I don't feel comfortable in there bringing up something that I know some people will disagree with, and I don't feel comfortable disagreeing with something that someone else posted, because it seems like that would be disturbing the "safe" conflict-free atmosphere.
Wow. I'm really unhappy with the idea that you've been made to feel like you have to shut up about something because it's not a popular opinion. When we're having a conversation (my feeling on the subject is), every Bitch's opinion ought to have equal airing space. I never knew you felt we weren't encouraging free discussion, and my hope is that you're able to feel free to speak in the future.
Bitches is bigger and less intimate,
Um, *do* you mean Natter?

Or it could help clarify a matter that someone else can't articulate.
I guess it's that I've seen things like "guys, can you please not fight here?" or things like that (not just in Bitches, but also in Natter) at times when I thought the discussion was just starting to get interesting, so I've pretty much decided that my line between discussion and argument is much higher than others', and I don't want to be the person being told to stop fighting. Which I'm aware is my issue.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Um, *do* you mean Natter?
Nope. I meant Bitches. It's larger, faster (normally more posts there than Natter when I've been gone for a while), and less cozy than it used to be.
Change happens.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
We're gonna need a natter nine. I think the only suggestion so far has been the Beatles one; am I correct? I'd hate us to be the renamer what renames at midnight, but...

Yes, but what if your real opinion is (mine isn't) that depression is something caused by a person's lack of motivation and you feel that if those of us bitches who are depressed just got off our butts and did something, we would get better. And you reeeaaaly want to hel us. All of the sudden Bitches wouldn't be safe for a whole bunch of people if you expressed your opinion enough.

I like the Beatles one, and I haven't seen anyone saying they didn't like it. I'd say we go for it, unless someone comes up with a convincing arguement for why we shouldn't.

Oh, I see-- you mean, than it used to be. I'd thought you were saying, than the other thread.
I'll agree that Bitches is bigger, but I don't think it's less cozy. I mean, I think it's cozy. I mean, I don't remember less coziness.

Well, I think there's also arguing, and arguing well....
I am so inarticulate, I am sorry. I am going to go to bed.

Yeah, everyone's had a chance to come up with a title or go against the prevailing Beatles one. Or at least, constructively they have. So, Natter 9...Natter 9...Natter 9?

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

I like that "What is it with you people and penguins monkeys?", but then I'm hopelessly behind. What's the Beatles one?
