What ita said, and Shawn, would Bob mind if I married your brain?
Because Shawn pretty much articulated everything I thought, but didn't have the words for.
You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone.

OK, so the sense I'm getting is that nothing has changed WRT to Press, even though some people don't like some of the stuff that goes in there. It's still up to the individual whether to post something, including all the content that has been identified as inappropriate by some and supported as appropriate by others, but at least now anyone who cares to has probably put his or her two cents in. Is that a fair assessment?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Is that a fair assessment?
Fair, though I'd also note that Elena voluntarily pulled the DM notices, and there seems to be community pressure not to be frivolous with the attention granted.

Yes, she did.
and there seems to be community pressure not to be frivolous with the attention granted.
Not to be frivolous with the attention granted to posts in Press -- yes, and I'd add that there's some disagreement re: what frivolous/inappropriate is. As to specific types of posts, even though some are viewed less favorably than others, it's still a matter of personal judgement. So, taking into account that post X may bug some people, a poster still decides if reason's Y and Z outweigh that or don't outweigh it for a particular post.
At this point?
(And, the Stompies regulate natter, etc. in the specialized threads, and I'm assuming there's some latitude for them to judge and delete or repost somewhere else any, you know, wildly inappropriately placed posts, so there's that mechanism, too.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You're the reason we can't have nice threads.

You and you alone have been blocked from seeing it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
would Bob mind if I married your brain?
I don't think that's allowed in this state, but I'll check it out.
