Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Our wings are not tired.

Jess, I know it is upsetting, but a)We can't really do anything about it and b)Do you really think her site gets much traffic?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I know, and no, Laura. And I'm sure we don't have any kind of legal rights to the logo (and even if we did, copyrighting images on the internet's pretty much a lost cause), I just hate seeing our name used that way.

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

Actually, we do have legal rights to the logo. Copyright basically goes like this: You made it, it's yours. It's just that such things are a huge pain in the ass to enforce.

I understand. Truly at this point it is just sad. The kind response is probably to ignore such cries for attention. t /mother

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I'm getting a Single White Web site vibe out of this whole situation.

I guess it would be cruel to COMM that, but, dude. With the laughing.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I'm sure that Zoe is still reading here and probably getting a huge rush out of the fact that we are still posting about her even after suspension and banning. By all means, let's create a new space for Buffistas at PF and guard the space we have at WX. I'm all for posting something brief and to the point in Press informing that she has been banned. And then, please, can we drop this? She's gone. I don't care what she does on her site or the vacated PF sites. Let's just stop talking about her. Pretty please.

I can understand checking PF and WX, but unless she's laying out detailed attack plans, checking her website is only making her hit counter go up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
