Thank you, DX. I appreciate you doing the onerous work.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Wow, go away for a few hours and lookee what happens.
Thanks DX, for playing the part of the meanie, and thanks Kat, for getting the ball rolling.
I for one think that the two instances we've seen of troll-like behavior pretty much confirm for me the "walks like a duck" theory. I don't see the need to plex and break our own hearts over these matters.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

BTW, is the search feature still disabled? I need to go see if I put a piece of fic in Bitchy Fic without having the sense to save a copy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yes, search is still disabled, and will be for the nonce.
I skimmed through WX and enforced our suspension there also, as much as I can.

Add another "thanks" to the pile, DX. Sorry I wasn't around to help out. You done good.

Stompies are often put in difficult situations, thank you DX and everyone else.

I was going to come, after reading UnAm, and rescind my previous arguments against banning her. I'm glad I was preempted. Holli, Consuela, DX, Sean; Nicely handled.
Oh, and secret message to Allyson you weren't out of line. You were perfectly nice to her.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
Talk about spending more time reading than writing. I read both bureaucracies and lightbulb and didn't have a thing to say for all my elevated pulse rate (train wrecks are exciting, even secondhand). I just have to post once to feel like I participated.
I had the same problem in Natter the other day, with the word "schmoopy." Seriously.
Does this word have an offensive origin?
I've pissed off several people (maybe up to 10, but hey, amnesty!) but have, with those exceptions, been, well, maybe not the model poster, but certainly not that bad. , even if I do use runon sentences.

Um, not to beat a dead horse, but somebody recently suspended is dancing around PF, and creating new threads there.
