Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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

Not if you're ready to work it again, no.

That said, can the list of blocked posters on the set profile page be titled "Wrongheaded Crackpots?"

This, I love.

Our wings are not tired.

I admit I would have to block one random user just to see the poster listed as a wrongheaded crackpot.

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

Not if you're ready to work it again, no.

From what I can remember, there are three things that need be done before the filter can go live:

  • fix spurious threadsuck posts
  • change language displayed on blocked posts
  • decide where the filter documentation lives, and write it

#1 and #2 are on Rob's list (the terminology -- was it to be "this post has been rendered blinvisble" or "invisible"?)

Any takers for #3? DX has already requested it be done in filk.

The bullshit consensus compromise between the funny and simple seemed to be:

Note that the I'm changing the name tag for the FAQ entry to "filter" (before, it was "MARCIE").

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

This post rendered blinvisible.
