Well, we are trained not to cause a scene, to get along, to doubt our instincts.
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

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!

Greetings from Melbourne, y'all. This is not how I wanted to check in on B.org, but it is what it is.
Thank you for posting that, Jessica.
I also find this deeply upsetting, but I've had enough conversations with Buffistas off the board to be in favor.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'm a bit gobsmacked myself. I like to think I can spot someone with these behaviors.
Maybe even wondering if I have been recalling a younger more reticent PC, and just projected that.
I know I've been in and out the last couple of years, but I think of the Buffistas as home ground. No one is above reproach for hurting others.

Jessica, I'm sorry and, like others, i'm sorry you went through it alone. I wish we were better about calling things out; I know I'm guilty of MARCIE-ing, skimming, ignoring.

Jessica, I'm sorry you had to deal with that (and same to anyone else out there who also did) and I'm with y'all. Not interested in him as a part of this community.

Jessica, thank you for posting. I'm sorry, too, that we didn't have your back when it happened.

Yes, I am too.

i thought he was joking, and once I decide that I'm not someone's fan, it can get a little over-zealous...didn't want to be That Girl.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Maybe even wondering if I have been recalling a younger more reticent PC, and just projected that.
Yeah, me too. I met him once, more than 10 years ago, and we didn't interact much. While I've never had a problem with him, I've also never spent much time with him. If other people are uncomfortable and leaving our board because of him, I believe them and I think he should go. That one post about Jessica really is enough, all by itself.
