You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Honestly? In her current mind-set, it's going to be readily apparent to anyone concerned that all is not well. I think leaving it alone is our best path here. She'll tire of it soon enough, and if other people follow her links and find us, I don't think it's a big deal. Just because it's a link from a crazy person doesn't mean that only crazies will click on it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Please please please, can we stop talking about her here? At least take it to natter or something.

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

Lance says he can't delete the threads, because he doesn't like the precedent it sets -- they are in a "free for all" section of the site, after all.

He's suggested putting a disclaimer and re-pointer in the header -- I asked him if he could put it in each "real" thread, and also if he could remove "Buffistas" from the thread names.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

No pointers, would be my wish. I'm all from removing our name from the folder header, and if you'd like to remove your picture, could that be done?

But I don't want to leave any breadcrumbs in those threads at all.

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

Yeah, I can see his no-delete position, but if he can change the name, then I don't think you need either the disclaimer or the pointer, really.

What Michele said. Just ask him to drop the word "Buffista".

I'm concerned that not everyone will know where we've moved.

If she follows and re-registers to avoid our blocks, he will then take action.
