Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

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.

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

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I suspect many of our arguments about seemingly silly things are at bottom about the principles involved.

I didn't mean to imply that I found the issue silly. I don't, and I apologize if sounded dismissive.

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

I didn't think you did, Burrell. Sorry for implying otherwise. I should have said "seemingly simple things."

No worries, Shawn. I just hated the idea that you thought I was dismissing you, when in fact I think you're super smart & always have interesting things to say.

Burrell, that means a lot coming from you. I am highly honored.

Group hug?

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

Group hug?

It would have to be an Abelian group, as most of us would need to commute.
