Just throwing it out there. I don't like it, but I don't like lots.

You're one to talk. Having met you I can vouch that you are a tall Chilean man of advanced years pretending to be a sassy Texas girl living the single life in NYC.

when you "speak" to my fake internet persona, you know what you are dealing with. that's all I'm saying.
it's not harmful, it's mostly silly, but something about it is something I don't like. that's all.
if no one else cares and the community is cool, then no problem. I'm happy to take my leave of Bureaublah once again.

We are legion.
I'm sorry msbelle. This is Cindy. I won't post any more. It was just supposed to be fun. I'd already decided to stay out of anything but Angel/Wonderfalls threads, and not vote.

I don't think sock-puppets are a problem as long as its all in good fun and nobody gets their eye put out.
It only bugs me because I don't like not being in on the joke. But that's not really a reason to change board policy.
Besides, I'm still trying to figure out what bats likes carrots means, so I'm clearly way out of the loop.
Edit: X-post, clearly. Hi, Cindy-the-Lurker.

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

Remember Bob-likes-carrots? That one is the way, especially when someone's newly in lurve, they'll sort of gushingly bring their beloved Bob up on any barely-relevant conversational pretext at all. "Bob said... Bob thinks... Bob likes..." So when a few obsessives among us coughmepleishriftcough got into Batman fandom and started going on and on about it everywhere, it kinda sounded, well, Bats-likes-carrots...

Um, I'm guessing that is a reference to a TV show I don't watch? It's dimly, vaguely ringing that kind of a bell for me.
And thank you, amych, for tacking a mystery Google was useless against.

This is Cindy.
Hee! I'd been trying to remember who said they were going to register as the lurkers in email, and too lazy to threadsuck. Now I don't have to! Woo hoo!

Nah, just a Buffista-ism.

Nope, it's a Teppy-ism.
Actually, this is making me wonder if maybe it should be in the FAQ.
