Natter 13: Maybe it's not such a good idea for you to piss us off.
This gets my vote in whatever paraphrase is closest to the original (which I can't recall just now).
Wesley: And how does your kind define love? Demon: Same as all bodies. Same as everywheres. Love is sacrifice.

Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer
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.

I'm pro the long-form as well.

As a recent delurker - I don't think it's too off-putting. If you are familiar with Buffy, you'll recognize it.
I don't think most new folks just jump right into Natter - I haven't - you have to get comfy in other threads first. So - chances are they will get used to being here separate from seeing that thread title and thinking you all are evil witches who will tie them up and flay them. (And therein lies their first mistake....)

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 don't think it's any more intimidating than Bitches, as a thread title. Though, it begs for trolls to test the title.
I like the title, though, and don't think we should have to give any thought to anyone but ourselves and our culture when making these decisions.

Ann, that's a ferret.
It's also a title for Natter. Which means it'll be around for, what, 13 minutes?
Though we could add something in the header about how it relates to someone who did piss us off lately.

Natter 13: Hostrocket? You won't like us when we're angry.
Natter 13: Or maybe 12.5, you know? Just in case...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Natter 12b: superstitious? us?
Ok, that gets my vote.

That's really very funny.
