(Which doesn't excuse actions like Allyson's vicious attack on her either, and much less the later bragging. But that's another subject, so I'll just leave it at that).
Oh no, Paul. Let us discuss it. I would prefer not to leave it at that.
Oh, look at the pretties!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

how nice Wesley would look wearing just a sock
Of course, I picture him wearing this Red Hot Chili Peppers style, instead of on his foot.
Any further musings on Wes, his sock and its placement I'll bring up in the Angel thread if they come to me. So that this board may have its peace for a few moments, at least.

Paul, before you bring up that hornet's nest, you should understand that Allyson's reaction was mild compared to the blinding fury that happened to settle on some of us queers when shit about gay sex being icky came up with us Standing Right There.
What Allyson managed to do was defuse some of us before we went completely, totally, and insanely postal.
Consider it the lesser of evils, because you don't even want to know some of the responses to that post that went through my head.

Standing Right There
Any idea where/when that post was? Cuz I'd be interested in having a frame of reference. I'll look it up, just point me in the right direction.
Although quite possibly I should keep my big mouth shut.

Thrive to spite them
It was early on in Angel 2 I think. I would say Threadsuck Angel 2 and search under Zoe's name but that could be tedious.

First 1000 posts, you think?

Up with the sun
It was in Angel while the show was on hiatus. Maybe mid-Feb.?
I'd REALLY rather not drag this one out again. Allyson's post bothered me a lot more than Zoe's, as cruelty bothers me more than stupidity -- but I was reading a few hours later and without the perspective of being gay/bi, so maybe I can't really understand this one.

The particular conversation starts around connie neil "Angel 2: No Time for Losers" Feb 19, 2003 1:20:20 pm EST, but you might want to go back a little further for the grammar/spelling debate that already had people edgy, starting around Zoe Finch "Angel 2: No Time for Losers" Feb 19, 2003 8:30:21 am EST.
edit: and then continues at Allyson "Angel 2: No Time for Losers" Feb 19, 2003 7:26:54 pm EST.
(And, sorry if this is dragging up old stuff again, but I figure it's better to have actual posts to refer to than just summaries of 1000-post discussions.)

Thanks for all the fish.
Let's also keep in mind that Allyson apologised (to offended other Buffistas, though self-admittedly not to Zoe) for that post.

Up with the sun
Okay, I reread, and a)I was remembering Allyson's comments as worse than they were and b)I was around during that conversation, so I'm mistaken about reading it later.
This is why I should not comment on things that happened more than five minutes ago without finding the original posts.
