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

More than one person has emailed her with links to this discussion (and mentioned doing so in this thread).

[edit: And, since B'cy is a sidebar thread, one doesn't have to be subscribed to see it. I'm not.]

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

I remember noticing it in one post, when (Kat?) first mentioned the possible warning. Didn't notice any other mentions of it at all, but then, I don't read Unamerican, and I've been skim boy. I assume that if anyone emailed her about it, they'll speak up.

But don't you have to be to have it come up when you hit Read New? Cuz' that's all I do, and probably lots of others.

People have emailed her. People have directly posted links in threads. People have bent over backwards. She knows this place is here. She's been here before.

I posted to her in Unamerican (3237), and linked her to the very start of the discussion. Others have also mentioned in this thread that they e-mailed her, but inasmuch as I am loathe to go back through the 300+ and apparently growing posts about her, you'll have to scroll to find out who did.

Thrive to spite them

Gandalfe, if you look on the main page at all Bureaucracy is there.

Zoe was told at least twice in UnAmericans what was going on over here with links. I think several other people told her without linking.

I'm pretty sure someone mentioned it over in Angel.

She was told, right after another inicident where she had a weird ass post.

No one is hiding this from her or trying to keep it a secret. We want her over her to explain, to say something, to let us know what's going on.

I really don't see any reason why people should have to repeat themselves for your benefit if you haven't been following the conversation. If, for whatever reason, you don't trust Hil and I [and Monique and PMM, and Askye] enough to take our word, why not threadsuck and search for the word "email"?

But don't you have to be to have it come up when you hit Read New? Cuz' that's all I do, and probably lots of others.

Which is why she was emailed more than once with a link to this conversation.

Fabulous. Then she at least knows about it. I can think of many reasons not to join in a discussion such as this, particularly when it's about you, but it seems the adult thing to do to is speak up.

Gandalfe, could you please try to treat us like we are adults who are taking this seriously, understand the rules, and aren't trying to exclude the person involved.

I realize that you skimmed, but your constant questioning about if we understand the seriousness of what we are doing or if we have told Zoe or if she could even figure out what's going on is insulting.

Christ! Why is this suddenly about me not being able to keep up with this thread, or another thread that I'm not even subscribed to?

I've been skim boy. I assume that if anyone emailed her about it, they'll speak up.

When I said this, the only thing that had been said recently about e-mailing her was prefaced with (I think), which is not the greatest confidence builder. Now I have confirmation.

Gandalfe, if you look on the main page at all Bureaucracy is there.

Yes, but not the posts themselves, or the content thereof.
