No, Susan. I was offended too. Didn't say it in thread, but did in backchannel to Allyson.
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'd also like a retroactive apology from ME's costuming department for the elmo clothes Willow wore Season 6. Very Tramautic.
And for Riley. Let't not forget about Riley.
And no, if you apologize before you mock, I'm going to know you're not sincere. Therefore, I ain't accepting your stinking apology.
Cool. One less lie thing to worry about.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
but when the word Orwellian was brought up... that's when it became an attack.
"Orwellian" was unfortunate hyperbole. I am afraid of this board becoming overly concerned with the quality (well, lack thereof) of peoples posts. I'd rather read interesting posts too, but does inane = invalid? That is what I was talking about. I felt, that since the "gay" and "christian" incidents were some time ago that the ill feelings that had snowballed since that time are based more on Zoe being annoying and/or incoherent than any aggressive act. I summed that general mood up with the "O" word. It was unfortunate and not intended as an attack on you or any other individual.

I tend to use the term subhuman mainly to describe my brother, and also a couple of bands.
I don't have any more negative crap attached to it than I do to, say, dumbfuck, dipshit, asswipe, or fartknocker.
To bring out my "I'm TWELVE!!!" vocab.

Holy crap. How could I have forgotten about Riley. And for his Mary Sue wife too. And for all the penis looking monsters.

I think Tim should retroactively apologize for the numerous layers of clothing Gunn is always wearing.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I'd like a retroactive apology for Glory.

oooh... this is making me laugh. I want an apology request thread. Maybe we can reopen the end of the year thread and use that. Sort of like a Brown Wrapper, DEMAND AN APOLOGY HERE deal.

Ah. Herein lies the disconnect. For me, the term takes me back to various primary source material I read for one class or another re: white views of African slaves, English views of the Irish around the time of the Famine, etc.
