I agree with Nutty.
Buffy: I was regrouping. Spike: You were about to be regrouped into separate piles.

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
Rl, if you feel there's dirty laundry to air, and that you have the right to air it, then air it; but if you don't want to air it, don't talk about it.
(I hadn't brought it up!)
(And I *don't* feel I have the right to air it. As I'm not an admin; and therefore not completely informed as to what they've been doing. But I *want* to bring it up-- I'm not being coy for coy's sake-- and that is my problem.)

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
we're Not Actually Having.
Except, of course, that some of us are.
And as someone who's not in the know, I think it inappropriate to discuss political matters not accessible to the entire board on the board.
This is really the source of my discomfort. I'll let it go.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Soooo, let's stop talking about it now, okay? I mean, I can see you have some kinds of concerns, but now and here are not the place to address them. Not unless you obtain the right to air whatever supplementary knowledge you seem to have.

Rebecca had a simple and valid point about the banning/unbanning thing, and it kind of got lost in all the innuendo.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Can I just ask people to wait until the Stompies can actually say what they have to say?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Here we go:
"The stompies were recently presented irrefutable evidence that Anathema was the poster formerly known as mieskie (photos were involved). He was asked to offer a public apology, but refused because of his sincere belief that it would stir up resentment on the board. He's learned to really respect this place and felt that his continued presence would be divisive. Therefore he agreed to leave.
"The Stompies felt that it was important to deal with this backchannel because we saw no benefit to a public flogging. Anathema has promised that he would not reregister again under another name, and we believe him. We see no reason to discuss this further."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
We see no reason to discuss this further.
Well, I can see how this will stick in a few craws.
