Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Not to mention the fact that if (excluding the day after a new show) I see a huge jump in posts in Buffy/Angel thread my first thought is to wonder what Zoe has said now to piss people off and dread reading the thread.

I know. And, personally, I'm more concerned by the pile-ons than the inspirations for them.

I know our Community Standards basically consist of "don't be a jerk"-- which makes the jerky-ness in response just a bad as the initial jerkage. I guess I'm feeling a little log in my eye/mote in my brother's here-- the people who DEFINATELY know better aren't even following the rules and I feel like they (we, to be honest) need to lay off if we're going to have a leg to stand on.

As a member of the private school board (or whatever) I'm saying that I think it's too far.

{{Kat}} Your point is great and I say "wrod".

Thanks for all the fish.

It hasn't gone anywhere yet. And Zoe has been informed of the discussion, this isn't private.

Fire. Pretty. Aren't bonfires fun? Anyone want a marshmallow?

I'm saying that I think a warning is too far, that I think it's Orwellian.

I'd also like to note how hard the banning we DID do was on this board as a whole and that it should be avoided at almost all costs. Asking people to chill a little seems reasonable.

I think Mieskie was more than a prig. AND I think the banning happened too quickly.

And telling is fine, it's the "official" stamp on a stompy foot warning that has me concerned.
