You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
And you're still mine.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It is so lovely to see so many old friends back again. Hi, DX!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
DX!
I don't know if I MARCIE'd P-C, or if I just mentally tl;dr'd him all the time.
So, here's the funny thing. I posted in my FB about this whole thing, using the publisher's announcement as a springboard, and tagged SF theater folks. Which led to a long phone call with one of them, wherein he said he had always found P-C creepy in person, but since P-C always surrounded himself with women, my friend figured it was just a personality clash. And my friend is not the only person to have personal issues with P-C & to have commented on that dichotomy.
(That led to a long (and interesting) discussion of boundaries, where they land, why they get slippery in certain contexts (theater), how to enforce them after the context of a show is over, etc. My friend's a lot more articulate in these matters than I am, so I hope something interesting and thinky will come out of it, and I hope everyone continues to have a heightened awareness.)
Point being, the gender break happens IRL and online, and I'm sorry I didn't listen harder.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Oh, man. First Theresa gets me right in the feels. And then msbelle and DX just straight up brought me to happy/sad/overwhelmed tears. Long live the favorites!
More later, when I can think straight and actually see the screen -- I've got something in my eye.

I remember ita told me I should at least try to point out to him that he was being creepy, but I never did. I should've listened. She was almost always right.
This is true. What Would ita Do? is a pretty reliable indicator of doing what's right and best, if not always what's most comfortable or easiest. Unless it involves clicking links.

Because books.
That last sentence should probably be in bold, Matt. ::nods::

Shit's all sorts of different now.
So, my post earlier in the thread was pretty ... non-committal. I had no idea this was going on until I was asked my opinion of the situation.
It's taken me a bit to process - like Steph, it doesn't happen at a pace resembling something like speed.
Mostly because what I, also, viewed as awkward behavior got, in my perception at the time, attacked needlessly (the whole tagline changing thing back in the stone age) and I stood up for him in a probably (definitely) very shitty way and it fucked up a friendship (Actually, more than one. Actually, quite a few with most of the LA-istas) that were important to me. Very important. And, to an extent, fucked up my interaction with Nilly when she was in Los Angeles. I have to take responsibility for MY shittiness in how I handled sticking up for P-C, but now, to find out that he's been doing this shit to people I care about - despite my lack of board involvement for a huge amount of time - AND I stuck up for him once upon a time?
I'm fucking pissed.
And I've been pissed for most of the past 24 hours.
So - yeah. I'm all for the banning. I'm voting.
And to msbelle and Kat G - I really am so very sorry.
I'm gonna be over here, being pissed and adding this to the list of shit I can beat myself up about, even though there really is no need because people like him are good at this and it was 12 years ago.
