I post that ita bugs me sometimes. Msbelle posts that ita bugs her too, and she thinks ita's stinky. Jesse says, yeah, ita stinks! and her momma dresses her funny! I come back and say, yeah, I agree with BOTH of you, and what's more, I'm gonna kick ita's ass!
But if msbelle and Jesse believe their points, and you come to believe yours, what's the problem? If you don't believe yours, well, it seems like an odd case of peer pressure -- do we really see that a) as having happened, and b) a sufficient risk to proactively create procedures to avoid?
The thing that's especially fascinating to me about this (and I'm mostly using your post as a placeholder, smonster), is the subsequent conversation in here about how maybe she does have mental problems that make her unable to interact like a normal person -- and that was OK?
No. That was decidely Not Okay either. Honestly, if you are defending me and you are saying I deserve a special break because I Am SPECIAL. Grr..... so insulting. Thanks for the defense, but not in that way.
Well, to be fair, I was willfully malicious, and I think the other folks were genuinely concerned, which I do think is different.

Also, irrelevant. I don't care if you're peeing on my shoe because you're not potty trained, or because you're a sick twitch, I just want the urination to stop.
And since I'm not qualified to potty train, it's best you stop standing anywhere near me.
Do we having voting procedures and whatnot? YES! good.
I made a proposal for a vote.
It got seconded 6 times.
What now?
Someone should open Light Bulbs.
I think you post in Press the proposal, dates/times for the discussion and voting period, and someone opens Light Bulbs.
Also, someone needs to volunteer to count votes.
And it's your prerogative to have not been offended by that.
It doesn't offend me. It makes me sad. It offends me when people say things like "Bush is a genius" or "Suicide bombers have a point," but I defend their right to say it.
Before I got a clue, I had a whole lot of "gays are squicky" thoughts, too. Occasionally, when my male friends get too graphic, I still squick.
There are obviously a lot of diverse opinions on this board, which is one thing that makes it wonderful. Using one person's PERSONAL opinion that SHE doesn't find gay male sex a turn-on as a key reason to discipline her seems against the spirit of the board as I understand it.
And yes, people who can't stand male-male sex but are okay with two chicks totally piss me off, too. But they don't offend me. Pissing off and offending are two separate things in my book.
What about my obvious smacking around of Zoe? Shouldn't I have been warned? I was flaming her, and I meant to do it. Where be my spanking?
As noted above, yes, I think you should have been spanked.
Perhaps Voting Procedures should go in the FAQ?
