Er, not sure why I'm posting. Maybe it's just a bid to say that these kinds of moments don't really require a lot of soul searching. A well-meaning "oops, sorry, my bad" ought to suffice.
I so want to say "my bad" here.
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Well, if we're starting a new Quotables anyway, and if there was some indication that the matches would live on once Elena's done with Buffy ... Two Quotes Enter, One Quote Leaves would be a pretty good title. Instead of 'The Quotable Buffy'.
But yes, about that baby eating thing...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Finally, I feel obliged to toss this out, despite the anti-proliferationist stance: Maybe we need a deathmatch thread.
For all intents and purposes the thread it's in now *is* the deathmatch thread. The last eighteen thousand posts or so have been almost exclusively deathmatch related.

Last time anyone said that to me, I was locked in a cage and being force-fed some very questionable shades of pills.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'll cop to arguing less out of any investment in the thread title or the meaning of the word and more because I'm concerned about what precedent we set. We do often refer to precedent in later conflicts.
I suspect many of our arguments about seemingly silly things are at bottom about the principles involved. (For this argument? Where we draw the offense line. Spaz, yes; bitches, no.) And I submit that the quietness of this thread for the past 3/4 of the year or so is because all the conflict last year allowed us to articulate what principles are important to us, though this is certainly arguable.

I very much prefer something Elena quotable to spaz. I am uncomfortable with spaz.
A deathmatch thread may well be a nice part of the after finale thread structure. I'm for it.

And some of us learned to keep our mouths shut on the little things.
