and she isn't boiling your bunny or anything,
This is a great expression. We need to promulgate this expression far and wide.
Sometimes a thing gets broke, can't be fixed.

Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

I have nothing to add save that I agree with the nay-sayers for all of the reasons presented. It's kind of a shame, but I think we're a bit stuck with the open-kimono situation we have here.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
You could do a pay to play in bitches, and grandfather in the regulars, lurkers be damned.
Just lobbing the ball out there.
Trolls are usually cheap fuckos.

And also, if you do want to read something with trollish intent and you find out it's registration-required, are you going to a)go away forlorn or b)register and start reading? It's so easy to get an email address that I don't think registration is really any barrier at all.
It's the internet, and Buffistas.org has no ability to keep people (even registered users) from sending nasty email and basically being troglodytes. I feel for the poster in question but I don't know what we could have done to protect them.
This is what I wanted to say. Thank you.

If we did this, I would be gone.
Seriously, if we needed to charge for the board as a whole just to keep things running, that would be one thing, and I'd pony up whatever it cost. Charging for one thread to discourage lurkers is a different issue altogether, and I can't articulate my opposition beyond saying it's un-Buffistalike.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Ummm...considering it's the thread I call home (the one I check first, the one I will ignore other threads for), I just want to mention that Bitches is not really all full of the secrets that non-Bitches think it is.

UnBuffista
Also -- and I know this is not the topic being discussed -- this term is ridiculous. Wanting avoid being "UnBuffista" led to the ENDLESS mieskie/schmoker kerfluffle AND the ENDLESS Zoe kerfluffle.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

This is true. And the intimate feel of the place is a matter of the response people get there from other bitches, not from the fact that those of us who post there imagine that the place is or should be a secret.
