Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer
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.

Another social casualty...
Jon, I agree. We may have cross-posted when I responded to Cindy.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Cindy, I have been thinking the same thing about as you regarding making some threads registered Buffistas only. I don't think it's in any way exclusionary. If a lurker wants to see what's going on in Bureaucracy, all they have to do is register. The only intent is to prevent people like vw's ex-friends, or suspended posters from viewing some things that would be best left private. I don't know if it's doable from a technical standpoint, however.

While we're locking stable doors, can the nearest Stompy please rename me as just "Jim" (if you rename me "JustJim!" I will hunt you down...) I'm feeling a little more identifiable than I'd like to...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Done, Jim.
(edit: and the new look suits you)

FYI, though, anyone who feels sufficiently distured/threatened - the ISP that site is attached to is also a telco provider. Therefore, if you do feel harrassed, you are not dealing with someone anonymous - the UK police are fairly good about this kind of thing. Obviously, I'm not going to pursue that line of approach, and I advise against it, but the option is open.

At least I've worked out who Julie is. She is the skin eating monster who tears strips off of people she believes to be weaker than herself...didn't it get slayed by Buffy?
At least she spelt my name right :)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
If we are giving up on the PF place being ours, then I say someone threadsuck it, remove the Buffista name and ask Lance to close it. I really don't like the idea of innane rantings taking over a thread with our name on it.
We can always reopen another. Chances are she would never look after a few months anyway.

Our wings are not tired.
I like that idea msbelle.
Mostly I like
Then again, if what she wants is attention, maybe a studious IGNORE would be best. Don't respond in PF, don't email her, just wait for her to get bored and shut up.
If we do not feed she will go away. This is all very sad.
