He can wear that shit if he loves it so much.

Doesn't he?

edited to clarify what I was referring to

I always thought he was kind of an egotistical totally unfunny jerk, but then it's normal that not everyone in a group will like everyone else. (But I sort of thought I was crazy for not seeing what everyone else saw in him.)

I thought he had an impressive command of language, and he raised the occasional wry smile; but aside from that I'm not far from your reaction. From my perspective, he seemed to get the best reactions from the female Buffistas, so I figured his appeal was just some ladies' man thing and not particularly relevant to me.

Ha, I blocked him WELL back in the day. He just annoyed the everloving shit out of me. If that helps.

Whereas he didn't bother me: I found him entertaining, though I had no real emotional reaction to him.

Although he wasn't nearly the website designer he thought he was--I never much liked the site he set up to host Nilly's Firefly reviews.

[also, when does S2 premiere, god damn it???]

January.

Woo!

Not the retro stuff, though that's mostly due to price, not anything else.

Ahahahaha. I think I was trying to not block people. It made me feel like I wasn't trying hard enough to get along, or something like that.

Scola is my info-gathering hero.

Can I suggest that we create a "morbid curiosity" (or something like that) group on FB, and take the Gus stuff over there? It makes me feel weird in ways that I can't quite verbalize adequately to talk about it at length here.

What pinged back in the day was that he always talked at people rather than to them. I found it odd and offputing, so I never tried interacting with him (as much as I interacted in those days, which was more than I do now).

Don't know if I'm making an equation

I don't see any more link between a liar like Gus and Loki than I do between Gus and Aphrodite, is what I'm saying.

By the time Gus established the slightest rep for not following through (i.e. the second time, and that's including his coding efforts), I was actively pissed at him. We still don't have decent tag closing code, and I'm too traumatised to start thinking about fixing it.

I meant what I said earlier -- when I realized everyone took the weremonkey bite thing seriously, I just backed off the whole thing. I didn't know him, hadn't really interacted with him, but that was too much for me. That said, I figured if everyone believed it, there had to be something to it? So I just ignored it, and him, and then he, you know, died. Or WHATEVER.

My issue with discussing it here is that I think, if he is lurking, talking about his is probably making him very happy and only encouraging him. Not that I am telling anyone to stop; it is just my own issues with feeding energy demons.
