Wow, look. New thread and I'm still here.

For your edification, BTW, here goes a mini-recap of the last 20 or so posts in Bureaucracy 1:

"She started it!!!"

"No, he started it!!"

"She started!!!"

"He started!!!!"

"She started!!!"

"He started!!!!"

I guess it was just unavoidable.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ooh-- Number 10?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

shouldn't that be "Sartre"?

Heh, I just grabbed this post:

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I swear I know how to spell Sartre.

Sadly, I even quoted your post and didn't notice. Long day...

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.

Back now.

And really, overall respect for the community is why I won't kick Zoe again. Though, my respect has been waning in recent times, I still have enough to want to explain myself, and to hear people out as to why they are upset with me.

I'm upset because "subhuman" is a terrible thing to call anyone, and it's a terrible justification for any action against anyone. It's different from criticizing someone's behavior, because behavior can change; "subhuman" is just an epithet, like "kike," "nigger," or "fag," (and yes, I'm using those examples because I do find it that upsetting), and I don't want to see it used even on someone I agree has been detrimental to the community.

Let us never speak of this again.

(Edit: And of course I meant that for DX, not Micole.)

Nobody

I move that amyth has to be my slave, and do my laundry because she made me cry (and I suspect she made the baby Jesus cry, too).

Any seconds?

Speak of what, Jesse?

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

I'm upset because "subhuman" is a terrible thing to call anyone, and it's a terrible justification for any action against anyone.

If it helps, I understand that you see it that way, and why you're upset, but it is why I said it, and I still think it. I mean, if it changes your perspective of me, that's fine. I can accept that. I'm just not mincing words. This is how much I hate Zoe. And, have you ever seen me this angry about anything else besides voting, in Buffistaland? Huh?
