I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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.

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.

I honestly don't understand why she's being accorded more respect than that. Nothing in her behaviour or her attitude warrants it.

"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.

Hello! I must be going.

(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.)

Missing in action since 2002...

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.

Thank you, DX.

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.

Thanks for doing it DX. I know it was unpleasant for you.

Way ahead of you, BC.
