No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

See, but I am in the Gang of 14, but I don't think I am a core buffista!

Sure you are! You, like, organized the first F2F and stuff! Even though you and Erin aren't around as much, you're still Hard Core, drat it!

In my mind.

Of course, everyone will have a different set of Core Buffistas. Which rules, in my opinion.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Of course, everyone will have a different set of Core Buffistas.

This is, of course, the real reason that There Is No Cabal.

I thought it was the Gang of 16?

As the person who had the fit of temper and used the expression, it was Gang of 14. Which, err, was really my low point as a human here. (Especially considering I was the fifteenth most active poster in B'crazy at the time. Though I was feeling frustrated and passionate enough that I probably would have used the expression even if I'd been #1.)

I'm going to throw my support behind the "down with no preference". I think it was created, IIRC, as a compromise for people who felt that they wanted a way to back what the majority wanted AND for people who felt that it was important for every person to vote every time.

Exactly!

The confirmation email doesn't have anything to do with the vote counter. It's sent out automatically. Check your spam folder and see if it got tossed aside.

I know, but it's not in my spam folder. I thought maybe the vote counter could confirm whether or not my vote had been received. I've never had a problem recieving the confirms before.

Art Crawl!!!

Ha! I just checked my spam folder and my own address was blocked.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

See, in my list I didn't even put Plei, Laura orJessica, which is of course insane.

I also think the core changes with how much people post. MM was a core Buffista for a while, and now posts less. Still a Buffista OF COURSE but maybe not a "core" one.

The first rule of Bitch Cabal is we do not talk about Bitch Cabal.

The second rule of Bitch Cabal is we DO NOT TALK about Bitch Cabal.

Rule number six: There is NO rule number six.

This concludes the reading of the rules.

Hear, hear, well spoken Bruce!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
