Occasionally I see threads I'm not subscribed to, but as soon as I read some messages, or hit message center again, they're gone. Doesn't bother me at all.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Remember when I asked about taking the FAQ off geocities? It comes up when I google myself (what? Everybody does it!), and I'd kind of prefer that it not. So can we just take my last name off it? That would be awesome. Thanks.

Hmm just how far does the lack of ridicule go?
For example if someone admired Henry Kissingers and his politics would it be unacceptable to say "Henry Kissinger is a war criminal"?

I don't think that would be unacceptable. I *would* find, "Henry Kissinger is a war criminal, you moron, and if you really knew what you were talking about, you'd feel differently," an unacceptable thing to say.
In the former, you're simply expressing your opinion, which happens to be different from someone else's. In the latter, you're denigrating a person for what they believe and insinuating that they're simply ignorant.
Either way--only three of us expressed interest, so I think it's dead in the water.

I'm going to go out on a limb and state that when *I* post about "ignoring disturbing political talk", it's almost always out of concern that things are getting too heated. YIDPTMV

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yeah. Or if it's detoured into Nixon/Kissinger slash.

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

Don't we have a policy of no real person slash, 'cause that would take of it, right?

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