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.

No hugging, no learning!
I like "Huh."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
No hugging, no learning!
Can this be the next bureaucracy thread?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Finally, I feel obliged to toss this out, despite the anti-proliferationist stance: Maybe we need a deathmatch thread.
I have to disagree. In that huge-ass vote we had some months back, the decision was made to keep the Buffy Quotables thread open only until the Buffy death matches were done. Then it would roll into the main Buffy thread. If we decide to do an Angel Quotables deathmatch, well, with Angel likely ending in a few months I'd think we could do the same thing with the Angel Quotables thread (i.e. hold death matches after the finale and then close the thread).
t on edit I Nilly'ed the voting result:

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Heh. I have to point out that the six month no reconsideration time limit on that vote ends *tomorrow*.

AHA!
But, let's consider tabling this (in the removing-it American sense) until Angel is finished. At that point I think the board should address issues about thread and board structure.
I do think this thread has been much quieter because we did work our way (painfully, but thoroughly) through some of the larger issues. And I think we had to to do that. At least what I read before on the dynamics of discussion group cultures, ultimately some kind of structure is required or longstanding frictions and disagreements or disciplinary needs tear the group apart. I think we successfully implemented a very light-handed structure that works for us, and moreover is held in common understanding. We know how things are supposed to work around here now.
