A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

To put it another way, I wish Allyson hadn't posted some of the things she did today, especially the subhuman comment. I wish Zoe didn't post here, period.
What Perkins said. To me, 'subhuman' is as offensive as a racial, religious, or orientation-related slur. If I'm alone in that, let me know, and I'll back down and try to reset my PC-o-meter.
BWAH!
Kat iz a bug meenie. Warm hur.
Shit, I'm so used to being in the minority about that sort of thing, I expect no one else to like it.
Also, just want to add, people being treated identically, at least according to IDEA and ADA, is not the same as people being treated fairly or even equitably.
t saunters into thread, stops, horrified, puts on Dobler hat
DUDE.
You must CHILL.

In utter seriousness, feelings are running very very high in here right now. Can we step away from both the Zoe issue and Allyson for a bit?
Please?
Pretty please? With sprinkles on top?
Um...I thought that's what we were doing. What with the demands for retro apologies and all.
Sorry, that was crossposty.

So Susan, is this a warn Allyson or not warn her?
Kat iz a bug meenie. Warm hur.
This totally cracked me up. My friend once posted something about bothering her "bug time" and I'm freazing so by all means, WARM ME!

I'd also like a retroactive apology from ME's costuming department for the elmo clothes Willow wore Season 6. Very Tramautic.
I want a retroactive apology from everyone who mocked NSYNC's Bee Gees Grammy tribute.
Dude, I didn't even see it, and I still want to mock it. Can I, if I apologize first?
Actually, Allyson's breech of community standards has been pointed out to her (both at the time of the offence and during this discussion) and she has agreed to moderate her behaviour in future.
In affect a warning, as this board seem to consider the process, has been unofficially given, Allyson has discussed it and agreed to abide by the group consensus.
At this point you're just trying to moderate her thoughts, beliefs and opinions.
Bears repeating.
In other news, I want a retroactive apology from everyone who mocked NSYNC's Bee Gees Grammy tribute.
Huh. I *didn't* mock it in the past, but I will now...
