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.

I've said before that the board seems less kind and more aggressive of late. I've said before that people should perhaps ask for clarification before slamming a post and/or poster. That skimming over things that don't interest/do irritate us is a time-honoured way of dealing with things.
But none of this can me mandated or enforced.
Actually, that vaguely distresses me, when I see that two people can be on the same board and never meet. It's one of those things where, I know it happens; it's too big a board for it not to happen; but it flies in the face of my prevailing myth of the board, which is that everyone at least recognizes everyone else. Which, in my little myth, is the reason why we are all nice to each other -- recognition of our togetherness.
D'you think I'm this nice to strangers? Ha! Off-board, I'm Queen Bitch of the Universe!
I know, my little issue. I'll just have to cross my fingers and hope that the Buffistas I never meet buy into at least sort of the same board-ideals as me. Which is why we repeat ourselves endlessly, right? Repetition eventually makes a thing true. Just look at George W. Bush!
I didn't say you're in a cabal, I said I hated you all.
Thank you for that clarification.
Ha! Off-board, I'm Queen Bitch of the Universe!
As delusions go, this one is almost as revealing as the one about everybody recognizing each other.
Just look at George W. Bush!
Lookie here, you may be Queen Bitch, but that's just mean.
Off-board, I'm Queen Bitch of the Universe!
Hah! I know better. It's all a myth, a myth I tell you!

I think this is good to do, for whatever reason.
So, I got tied up at work and had to skip. What's up?
What's up?
I got promoted to a cabal! Ple and ita and I are planning...stuff. Except ita's got crazy notions. Ple is surprisingly lucid, however.
Nutty's Queen Bitch of the Universe.
Ooh, can I join the cabal too?
Nutty's Queen Bitch of the Universe.
And she has cool new rules.
(and for the record, I was just joking, I read it all.)
Ooh, can I join the cabal too?
I dunno. It's supposed to be secret and shit, and Shawn's got the list. You might be on it already. Who can say?
