Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm not sure it's always overreacting. Sometimes it's undercaring, at least in my case.

The "you're going to go over this AGAIN????" reaction is greeted by me stepping away from the thread. Silently. The effect of saying "I'm out" helps point out the effect, but I'm too lazy for it.

Because, really, there are things I don't care enough about to even read another rehashing of.

What it's really boiled down to is that we should all strive to be more like ita.

IJS.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Which is why I got so pissed off about the warn/susupend/ban issue--we had that all made out and the first time we used that people were like "no no it should be different, let's do this". And so we changed it.

We didn't change it. We had no system for actually issuing a warning, which resulted in weeks of hand-wringing on whether there was enough of a consensus to issue one. So we voted to add a method that's fair and more clear to do that.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

But, if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate. If you look carefully, you will see that ita is, indeed, part of the precipitate.

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

Don't you think that's a bit precipitous?

Where he will tell highly entertaining stories about the sex lives of animals you never knew existed, and offer to balance the new regime's books.
