Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You know, we really should have a "not ultimately culpable for the contents of posts herein" disclaimer for the site.

I'm not sure a) who's the who that's not culpable, and b) how to word it, but there it is.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Good point, ita.

"Individual posters are responsible for the content of their posts."

What do we need beyond that?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Where should we put it? Bottom of every page in small type?

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

Ick, no. On the About this Site page if anywhere.

Thanks for all the fish.

I don't disagree, of course individuals are responsible for their posts, but why do we need the disclaimer? Something going on in a thread? Did someone make a positive Riley statement?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Did someone make a positive Riley statement?

I quite liked Riley

Dammit. Someone post that disclaimer already!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Is Buffistas.org even an official organization capable of having a viewpoint?

I think the disclaimer's a fine idea, but I'm not sure it's necessary.

See, there it is right there! Fay likes HWSNBN. But that's her own freaky weirdness and I really wouldn't want someone thinking that that was some kind of official Buffista position!

Uh, seriously? Seems to me like something we probably should've had all along. A pretty standard ass-covering measure.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

If we have one I'd like that the disclaimer, in honor of Calvin and Hobbes, to say:

We can't be responsible for what every wrongheaded crackpot with an ignorant opinion posts here.
