Wow.
So, um...yeah. Wow.
Hugs to the stompies and everyone caught in the crossfire.

Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse

If Jon B advocates a change, say, preferential voting (I think i can joke about this now, Jon. If I'm wrong, let me know and I'll change it)
Just so's you know -- not offended. I've joked about it here myself on several occasions. I probably spent more social capital on Prfffffl than I should have, but learned a lot.
change isn't really a popular thing around here.
This being the most important lesson.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hey, look, everyone, the shock treatments worked! Jon can't even say the words anymore!!
Nah, seriously, I hope that suggestions are always welcome around here -- but tone is just so damned important. And I think that's sometimes a little less obvious around here than it is in a lot of places online, just because we are so closely knit, and so many of us know each other IRL. We do hear the tones of voices in a lot of people's posts, and when we can't "hear" someone that way, that's jarring in itself.
So, Wolf (although you're probably gone), I'm chiming in with another round of What Deena Said. I'd much rather get to know you better and learn to hear you as you intend than get annoyed that That Lawyer Guy Is Being Argumentative Again. And I'll admit I've thought the latter at times in the past.

Just FYI, our back-up boards on WorldCrossing and PeoplesForum are also Buffista Zones, and are subject to the same etiquette rules as the Phoenix.
As suggested, I added this to the short-etiquette page.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
oooh, cookies!
And I'm in favor of posting the suspension/banning in Press, so everyone knows, and there the matter will rest.

Bureacracy 1 is showing up in my message center. Is this normal? I'm probably subscribed; I'll go unsub.
Edit: that did the job.
Edit 2: thank you Jon.

It was moved from the sidebar to make room. Unsubbing should do it. t edit And it did!
