Aren't brontosauri sort of mythical at this point?

Cali, don't know anything about the board, but as noted, live in Olympia and can give a lot of info. My smartass version of what Plei said is to describe Olympia as a "redneck cobbler with granola sprinkles". My profile addy is good.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Huh. OK then.
Condescending Crustacean is a good band name.

Our wings are not tired.
I didn't read the article, I'm assuming Kindly Brontosauruses are those people who don't make a fuss but just stand there, a little too close, and watch you, until you give in, right? Those persons irritate me and I am unlikely to do anything for them that I wasn't going to do anyway and/or I do not absolutely have to do. You can stand there all day, buddy. Being stared at does not faze me. I've been stared at naked.
This is me. Basically I can't be bothered to try and change my natural behavior. Your behavior is only going to make a difference if you are obnoxious, then you get ignored.
