Honestly, it was just a line that popped into my head, because I was going to brutally rip Allyson a new one for that comment, and thought that it might troll me, and then thought, "Well, let them ban me" and then I got goofy.
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

It may be irrational, but it smacks of someone moving into the neighbourhood and suddenly demanding that all the houses get painted a colour that you happen to approve of. Does that make sense? At all?
It makes perfect sense to me. I'm glad that we developed some procedures for making decisions. I don't think that means we're going to become all regimented or anything. Instead, it gives us a way of both controlling the rate of change and making sure that things don't go nutso-cuckoo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, so moving on....we're ready to open the Formal Discussion on the waiting period question?

OK, the thread's open. Who wants to post in Press? I'd recommend reproducing the proposal in the Discussion Thread, and linking to that from Press.

Turns out all I'm sure about is that people are pissed.
Yeah, I usually don't post much in here of late (see comment below), but this afternoon has just seemed like everybody is just upset. What people are upset about is uncertain.
Does that make sense? At all? Please?
I thought it made sense, and may have been the best phrasing of it I've seen yet.
Lately, as conversations have become heated or voluminous in here, the phrase that keeps running through my head belongs to Treebeard:
"Side? I am on nobody's side, for no one is on my side."
Just adding my voice to the "Doblerize" faction. Let's all chill, let's all try to keep from making it about sides, and let's try to remember that none of this is worth getting angry at each other over.
If anybody needs to tell me to shut the hell up and keep out of it, fire away. I humbly submit to any abuse that needs to be heaped my way.
In fact, if it will help soothe feelings, I'll take the abuse for everybody. Just heap it on me. I can take it, and won't bite back.
I am your subserviant whipping post.

As was just stated in Natter, I think emotions are running high what with the whole war and everything. I know that today, I was much more touchy about things than I normally am.
