I saw absolutely no intent to join the flow of the conversation so I deactivated. My feeling is that if they're upset, they can email the admin and ask to be reactivated.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Especially when accompanied by a message about how to save ourselves from going to hell.
Some of us like it there.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Now I'm almost sorry I missed it.
Almost.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did you e-mail the person, DX? I just see this as a place where lines can get blurry, as obvious varies from person to person.
In this case, I agree that wrist smacking is more than useless, but I think form dictates an e-mail explaining what was done, and why.

I didn't. You're right, I should, although it ought to be from the admin e-mail account, for which I don't have the access codes handy.

Access codes? There are access codes?
What email program do you use DX? I use Eudora and you can easily create a "personality" with any return email address you like.

I use Windows Messaging at work, and it's a pain to have more than one return personality set up. But that's not why I didn't do it. I didn't do it because I didn't think of that. I can use Netscape to send it.

I'll send an e-mail to dollarstore right now.

I sent the brief note to christiandollarstore, and got an "Ok, thank you" in reply.
Which strikes me as weird. The note just said we discuss, not preach or sell, so if s/he wants to do that, s/he'd be welcome back.
