I am disappointed that Jesse is not bitchy ENOUGH.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

You just expect a certain level of bitchiness from a cowgirl.

So now you guys think I'm a bitch, right?
More of a badass really.

Just for the record, I'm the sort of person who would fear that one rude post would overwrite the entirety of my character. I can see that at least Wolfram has the same sort of post=person perception; I don't know whether other people think and behave the same way. But I am glad to read that most people haven't actually had their feelings hurt in these quite contentious debates.
I certainly know from experience that one very unfortunate off-the-cuff remark of mine set a whole thread into motion (which is why I've felt extremely nervous during this entire discussion in terms of what I post), so P-C and Wolfram are definitely not alone.

Well, I certainly have been known to make snap judgments about people. OTOH, there have been times when a particularly elegant or nice post has changed my negative opinion of a poster. But, I think I'm more judgy than most people, so YJMV. I, mean, I've been known to take an instant dislike to someone based on their shoes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I hope no one has based their entire opinion of you based on one off-the-cuff remark!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I ended a friendship over an off-the-cuff remark. Granted, it was an off-the-cuff remark that contained the N word and when I pointed out how offended I was they refused to apologize but if they'd never said it we might still be friends.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Crap. I don't remember what shoes I wore when we met.

What I hear from the various comments that people have made is that while some individuals fear that they themselves might be judged on the basis of one single inappropriate post, that in fact most of us don't judge others quite so harshly.
