That was me, wasn't it?
What, Press? It was many many people.
Oh, God. Oh, God. My hair. My hair! The government gave me bad hair!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Aw, now Aims is trying to get us to stop talking about something.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
How can there be no tone? I...I don't understand.
Because if they admitted there was tone, they'd have to cop to the nasty self-righteousness of their posts.
Or possibly they were all machines.
Wow, we had a fit about how to use Press and Beep Me.
I think that's actually what led to the Rafmun kerfluffle. Because he was clearly on a crusade on behalf of someone else.
And it was, in fact, a pretty brilliant crusade, now that I think about it. If you say "There is a small group who POSTS TOO MUCH and by dint of posting too much they force the board to go their way, and I think they should stop posting so much!" there are only 2 responses:
(1) Try to defend yourself (if you assume, as I did, that you are among those being singled out as posting too much, blah blah), thereby proving the point; or
(2) Stop posting so much, which achieves the actual desired effect, which was to make the Mean Girls go away.
Douchebag.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I prefer to think of you as "consistent".
Well, that's true. I had a conversation recently about how the only difference for me between a rut and an awesome routine is if I like it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'ma be crazy and say that even machines have tone. Rafmun had douchetone.

Yeah. Boy, hindsight is crazy shit, huh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I mean this and all subsequent posts to be perky and giggly:
FUCK Y'ALL.
Steph, I think your summary is too kind. His attack on the board behaviour painted us much more poorly than just chatty and overly-forceful. Because what we (am I being too presumptuous?) were doing in influencing the board was evidently negative.
Hey, does anyone know of general reception of last night's SVU? It's generally a crap show, but last night was pretty exceptional.

Our wings are not tired.
You have not managed to convince me to read the b'crazy archives. See, right here, resolve face.
Happy Birthday to Cindy! Hope to see more of you in the coming year.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Aw, now Aims is trying to get us to stop talking about something.
Really? In B2?

Huh, I generally avoid it like the plague. What was exceptional about last night? You know, in vague spoiler fonty like terms.
