No, that was Katie who used to get so upset when people would call SMG unhealthily thin.

Is she the one who would then turn around and make fun of Hillary Clinton's calves, and not see the contradiction?

And I miss Alexis Marin.

I posted there before the Buffy thread got to be active, and one summer they all sent me postcards at sleepaway camp.

CoseyMo told me about that and I thought it was the cutest thing on earth.

Miss Cosey, too. Should try to track her down.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Jesse, FTR:

Consistent demon-like behavior may earn a warning from the Stompy Feet.

This should say a warning from the community, or something -- because the Stompy Feet aren't the ones who decide this.

We're the only ones that can post a warning, although we don't just pull them out of our (lovely) asses.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Christine Edgar works in the same office as my DH. She's doing great, and her daughter is a gorgeous kid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good point, ita, but a person who didn't know that wouldn't know. If you see what I'm saying. There's no obvious thing saying that it isn't the Feets making the decision.

This is making me long for the days of TT's Book Sluts and Literary Lounge Lizards thread.

I was a hardcore lurker/semi-poster in the Eggers/Mcsweeney's thread which was just so full of funny brilliant people it was frightening. You would read a post and the next day it would be the daily entry on the Mcsweeney's page.

To this day I have my favorite TT post ever written (it's about politics) on a stickie on my desktop. I'm glad I saved it but I cannot believe I forgot to make a note of who wrote it.

Uhm. Yeah....Off to look at that pesky ol FAQ.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

You know, listening to the TT talk, it makes me feel young, as I delurked during Buffy 5 on TT and often feel like an old-timer.

Of course, I was just talking to a student of mine who had assumes I was over 40 when in reality I am just 30, so I like feeling young.

Yay those of you who have the energy to do updates to the FAQ and etiquiette! I wish I had timeto help.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

I lurked on the first Buffy thread, as I recall.

tina, if you transcribed it I bet one of us would recognize the post, or at least the writer's style.

And Susan, that's great to hear about Christine.

I'm not saying the current wording is good (unless it's spelled out repreatedly elsewhere that the Stompies are merely enforcers of community will). Both points are important. Allyson can't post a warning, and I can't make one up.
