I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

Thrive to spite them

Okay, so Micheal hasn't asked to come back at this point? As far as anyone knows he's accepted to wait for another two months and then see what the decision might be?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yup.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I also propose that all the Buffistas get nekkid right now.

Despite body demons, gets nekkid to please Cindy.

Okay, first I retract some of what I said about Micheal.

Second---if he's willing to wait for two months then why are any of us talking about it?

Nobody

Gives Aimee her own personal, JZ-the-Body-Image-Demon slayer to follow her around and make affirming remarks about her t&a.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Any Buffista who gets a TV show gets a thread.

You mean one of us? Not a Mutant Enemy staffer/alumni?

Are any of us up for TV shows right now?

Yup.

If that's true, then I think it was VERY inappropriate of Wolfram to bring it up.

All it did was stir up a kerfluffle yet again, to no real end.

That makes me angry.

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

My pride isn't stung in the least, Allison.

The fact that one of two holders of an unpopular opinion, has just been advised to leave (and about fifteen posts after the other had his almighty "social capital" waived over his head), causes something akin to nausea, however.

Not to my knowledge, though several would certainly like to be.

I think it would be a good policy.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Okay. So. Resolved: There shall be no yelling in the Bureaucracy thread in future. Yes? Yes? It does nothing to help and everything to hinder civil conversation.

So. Next. Please (whoever) give us formal language (a proposal, a post in Press) on the pre-existing proposal or else tonight, when Allyson is ready, I think the Minear Thread Proposal will have to go forward. Onus is on the proposer or the person who wishes to revive it.

Onward!
