S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

The slug works for me as well. Maybe we can think on titles a bit more?

All is well that ends in pizza.

I'm weighing in against Ikea, in that i have never shopped there and it is an abstract to those of us who have not done so. It would be like naming the thread Pottery Barn.

Boxed Set! : FS, SV, dS, and other TV fandom

Get it? combined topics, boxed set...? And isn't Due South out on DVD now, so it's sort of cute and topical?

Okay, I'm trying.

I guess I'm alarmed at the apparent speed at which the changes appear to be occuring. the simple ones, no problem. But there are sub-communities that are being affected.

Although I know that the stompies are thoughtful and generous people, I fear that the alarm bells are sounding in at least the Due South thread and a rapid repourposing would only increase anxiety.

I propose a general discussion on renaming be given at least a few days breathing room before action is taken.
