Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hello! I must be going.
Well, I'm going to see Kali Rocha play Cecily onstage. In TRAVESTIES at the Williamstown Theater Festival in Massachusetts, that is, and her character really is named Cecily. And oh yeah, she has a couple of topless scenes. I've mellowed and thought that it was silly of me to react some of the ways I did, so I took a deep breath and starting reading threads again from where I'd left off. Then I came across this:
Betsy HP "Natter 14: What number are we on?" Jul 29, 2003 1:28:37 pm PDT
Betsy, sweetie, you are a bigot. And if nobody cares about that, this is not a group I want to be a part of any longer.
FTR, here's the e-mail I sent the Admins on 7/28:
Moi?
This is an official warning. Further incidents will leadto suspension and then banning.
É finita la commedia. Do your jobs.

Four years of being a Buffista is a good long run. Just too tired of having to alternately bite my tongue in helpless fury or parse every word I say like a Talmudic scholar. I hope I'm the only one who feels that way and suspect I am.
The great Ernie Kovacs had two favorite sayings that I love: 'Nothing in moderation', and 'It's been real'.
It has.

Actually, now I suspect I'm not the only one who feels that way. Keep up with this tone and expect a silent exodus from the boards with fewer and fewer voices heard. This isn't a threat, it's a warning.
Bye and thanks to the many nice people. Too bad you're losing ground.

Caroma,
I've mellowed
I'm glad that time away made it possible for you to feel some level of peace. I'm sorry that you feel that you were being asked to bite your tongue or parse anything. I personally am not one of the people who feels compelled to do so (obviously).
I hope that wherever you go next to post, Caroma, that it is a more enjoyable experience for you. One where you don't feel like the voice in the wilderness or where you don't feel compelled to argue with everyone who disagrees with you. I'm sorry that you didn't get that here, but I do hope you have a less rancorous experience wherever you go to next.

Caroma,
Disliking one person doesn't make a one a bigot.

Ah... no. Fish in a barrel.

I hate to even ask this, but what thread should we discuss Tru Calling in?
Just thought I'd ask now, pre-Fall season, so we can sort it out instead of having a big mess when it premieres.
