Do in a moral sense, should in a codification sense.
I think certain Buffistas command more respect, but as long as we're human, that's going to happen. Certain Buffistas have more persuasive power, for the same mortal reasons.
Is that what bothers you, or is there something deeper?
That is not my beautiful husband.
That's Jim formerly known as E-T, isn't it?
Do in a moral sense, should in a codification sense.
But I think he's arguing pro this idea, not against. Unless I'm reading him wrong.
Nope. Jim E-T is an entirely different Jim, and British.
Um. I agree that certain Buffistas are highly respected. I'm more likely to stop and read a post here from you, or Betsy, or Hec - I know the names, I know they don't post nonsense (Midge Ure aside). Obviously. But I don't think that any arrangements we make should take that into account. i don't like the idea that "active members of the community" should have more of a right to control it than lurkers.

I saw Harriet Walters in Arcadia with Rufus Sewell. I dropped my surname after certain banned posters got too interested.

Bastard.
Which is to say, it's still the same JET.... There are only 5 people with my surname in the UK, so I figured a little discretion was wise.
I was just prying to find out if you thought there currently was a disturbance in the force. It was a worry the tenses of some posts brought up for me.
Personally, I have no idea how one would codify and quantify a popularity contest without losing core Buffistas anyway, so I don't fear it coming to pass.
This is an interesting discussion to read. For one thing, I didn't realize that some people don't like the "All Buffistas Are Foamy" phrase.
But the way I think about it is that I think the "All Buffistas Are Foamy" thing is true. I don't mean all the women look like Eliza Dushku and all the men look like Alexis Denisof.
But the thing I've noticed, with people I know, who I care about (not just, like, drinking buddies), is that they ARE all attractive. To me, at least. Once I know them, there's something that draws me to each and every one of them.
And if that isn't foamy, I don't know what is.
