The Caroma kerfuffle kinda made me miss the "Ignore" feature - was it at People's Forum - ? but am quite glad we don't usually need such a thing at the Phoenix.

I'm worried that we might open the door to this kind of thing if we overturn "All Buffistas are Foamy." Though we can always turn to the power of Corseted Cleavage to swing that door shut again.

I can see that. Standard etiquette would dictate that Caroma's remarks were rude anyway, but reinforcement of manners in this case isn't a bad thing, IMO.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Overturn "All Buffistas Are Foamy"?
What does that mean?

Thanks for all the fish.
