You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Might I say (having not read anything in discussion) that please bear in mind that fairness to all includes fairness to those you may or many not get along with?

Unless something radical has changed, nothing sneaky or underhanded has happened.

Thanks for saying that, Sophia. Now I don't feel like a gossipy old lady for being curious about it too.

And actually, I have a theory about what it might be...

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

My intent really hadn't been to tease people with information they don't have, btw. You have to believe me.

Don't worry, Mme. Le Lizard. It's just the human nature.

(I can't figure out whether this was directed to me or to the voting people.

I really don't think I was being unfair....)

I was talking about the situation, and reminding you to keep that in mind when you talk about what you dislike about what has been going on with it.

I don't really think anything untoward has happened, and in fact I have a guess, too.

I am just curious as all get out, cause I am like that.

I still don't understand who I was being unfair to. (I'm sorry for being so thick.) The admins? I don't "not get along with" the admins, I don't think...? I think I appreciate their situation. I'm just unhappy with it.

And the subject of the discussion? I think I'm being scrupulously fair. I'd like to talk about that, in fact. But... can't, without being really damn cryptic and annoying and cringing about it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I don't mean to be forcing an issue that I know nothing about, and I don't mean to suggest that I don't trust the judgement of those we call Stompy. 'Cause I do. But I hear people talking about things they "can't" talk about here, and frankly, I didn't think that was how we did things. It's making me very uncomfortable.
