Naw, if I were the board would be nuclear-powered and you'd all be zombies.
Radioactive zombies, I warrant.
Which has an appeal.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
And BT needs to spend more time on homework. And stop chasing girls he likes with garden insects during recess.
You call it ooky, I call it 'product differentiation'.

From way back (this wasn't the only comment like this, just the one I happen to copy):
Seriously. Why SHOULD they be stressed to tears to be heard when we are perfectly intelligent people capable of taking others wishes into account even if they DON'T post them loudly and repeatedly?
I don't post in this thread too much. I usually try to keep up with reading it, though sometimes life interferes and I don't have the time. I generally try not to post anything "loudly and repeatedly." However, when something does matter to me, I chime in. If it becomes a huge debate, and I decide, "I don't want to be part of a huge debate," then the issue couldn't have been that important to me to begin with. If someone then said, "Well, 100 posts back, Hil posted this, and she backed off because she didn't want to be part of a huge debate, but we've still got to take her into account," I'd feel extremely insulted and condescended to. If I back off of something, it's because I don't think it's important enough to be arguing about it, or at least not important enough to me for me to put my name, time, effort, or social capital into defending it, and at that point, I certainly don't want anyone else to be claiming to represent me.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I miss Dr. Satan.
Me three. And Knut, and John H., and Jen K. and Cindy and Rio and Theresa and...folks.
Me four. And Wolfram, I'm really glad you stayed, too. If ever I needed an example of grace, I think one of your returning posts was a worthy example.
