S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Does just the text in the post get blocked? Or the person's name, the entire content of that table, the username, date, post number, etc.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

You see the username, date, time, post number, and mark link, but not tag or post.

Because putting numbers to it will only convince paranoid people that they're part of that percentage.

Amen. And also, what if the numbers are high? I'd rather not know.

Our wings are not tired.

There are members of the board that will be more comfortable with the blocking option and I do understand this although once it is in place I hope to forget it exists. Of course I hope to never hear any members discussing it, and count me among those that don't want to know how much it is being used.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Oh, lord, no. Because putting numbers to it will only convince paranoid people that they're part of that percentage.

Speaking as one of the paranoid, a vehement third (or fourth, or whatever number I am).

I agree with Liese S. that it is understandable, just not pleasant to think about. So...I'm all for the ignorance is bliss approach here. Just my two cents.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So...I'm all for the ignorance is bliss approach here. Just my two cents.

I think the stompies should tell us comforting lies.

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

We already do.

I mean, we never would. We are way too stalwart and true.
