Holli, I think you were entirely civil. You have nothing to apologize for.
Book: Where's the doctor? Not back yet?

So, East Coast people? Let's post a LOT tonight, 'kay? I think if we can make the sense-making non-trolly posts outnumber the other kind, it will be a shinier happier thread for all of us.
Will do my level best during commercials. I'll take a pad and pen to this one so that I can post the insightiest of insights.

If Zoe was four years old she'd have earned herself a time out in the corner so that they other kids can enjoy the party.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
She's just going on a kamikaze run. She's probably read the discussion, feels cornered and is going out in a blaze of bratty defiance.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I just suspended her account. We had problems doing that with mieskie, so I don't know what'll happen next.

DX, just as an FYI in case you didn't know, she has two accounts: Zoe Ann and Zoe Finch. Thanks for doing the icky tasks tonight.
And with that, I'm heading for home.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Thanks, DX. In spite of my temper-snapping posts above, I'm sorry it came to this, but I believe it was the only thing to do at this point.
