I'd like a retroactive apology for Glory.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

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.

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.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
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.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can we get an apology from FBC for cancelling Firefly? I'm still suffering over here.

I had the same problem in Natter the other day, with the word "schmoopy." Seriously.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think Tim should retroactively apologize for the numerous layers of clothing Gunn is always wearing.
and show he's really sorry by never making Gunn wear a shirt again.

I want an apology request thread.
Thread proliferation! Thread proliferation!
Hey, someone had to do it.
And you know, we were making a joke at dinner the other night that for the series finale, we should do an ad "from the writers" apologizing for these things. Many of the ones mentioned above were discussed.
