If Darla pops up warning us not to spill the blood of virgin webspace to ensure the birth of Tim's thread, I am going to be seriously freaked.
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

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
So we're going to call the Tim thread, "Connor, the Whiny Bastard with Joey Lawrence Hair?"

Yippee, it was fun to vote 3 times!

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

Oh. I probably should have mentioned that in Press or Beep Me, huh?

Didn't Joey Lawrence have way cleaner better hair?

I think Joey Lawrences hair was more era appropriae when he was wearing it.
Now I am counting shit-loads of votes.

Back to somewhat old news because I only get on here once a day, but I'm disappointed we've decided to only send a strongly worded letter with no threat behind to HostRocket. If I had money, I'd be bankrolling the legal maneuvers, no matter how much empty gestures or lack of restitution we'd get. Because they are empty gestures that HR would have to counter and they would see that there are people who are willing to let fly a few arrows, no matter if they don't reach the target. And it would all be on record, too, that they'd been taken to court for their business practices. The whole idea gives me great, giddy spasms of violent joy.
And I'm the one with the rep for forgiveness and second chances. But it's been decided. I just wanted to go on record in the "The line in the sand is way, way far back there, but the dear gods help you if you step over it" camp.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Forgiveness? Second chances? For HostRocket?
I'm going to look funny at anyone who even suggests it.
However, I see no ROI on anything other than gently discouraging prospective customers that cross our path, and registering our disdain with BBB.
I can't see how anything else would even make them itch.
