Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Has anyone linked to the Alice in Wonderland trailer yet? I'm conflicted about an older Alice and an expanded Mad Hatter role.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Wow. Still as unpleasant and divisive as ever, I see.

If she ends up actually permanently employed as a teacher, remind me NEVER to move to the South Bay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

She has a job!

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

I have to say, I still twitch at seeing her name just typed out like that.

Fucking Voldemort. I've never met a more toxic personality online.

Waaaaay back in the Pleistocene Era, there was Salon, and Table Talk, and there was She Who Shall Not Be Named, who was (and, apparently, still is) an extremely voluble and, at first, superficially charming poster, who became more and more bent as time went on. She developed hate-ons for various people and derailed several previously thoughtful threads on at least one sub-board that numerous people had put massive amounts of time and effort and brutal self-examination into, threads that had the potential to form real rich communities (thank God she never went near Buffy). And somewhere around Table Talk's switchover from free to pay, she did a flounce-off to her own private special community, populated mostly by her sycophants, where, judging from the links provided in the comments on the WaPo story, she's been growing more and more unhinged in her splendid isolation.

Toxic. Cruel. A blight on the internets.

She who is not to be named is SERIOUSLY EVIL.

I'm not at all shocked that she's editing her vile spewings. I twitch at the thought of her. (I lurked over at TPW for a while a few years ago, and man, she was batshit. Wonder if the threads where she mocked old Table Talkers are still up.)
