The people here seem to like you better here if you ARE an asshat. Unfortunately asshat isn't my normal mode. There are other uncomplimentary phrases to describe me, but that isn't one of them.  |

I respect you as a poster.
I'm here for intelligence, humour and above all a sense of community. If that means sometimes people get told, "We don't do it like that here" or "Post intelligently or fuck off" then I can live with that. It doesn't make this place a WASP Country Club.
You're an intelligent [wo]man. You're part of the community.

Honestly Cloud - I'll say to you what I say to Shawnee - who I adore - just relax. You are not disliked. I don't think you were ever disliked. If sometimes people don't appreciate a post, a comment, an issue - it's NOT personal.
Please tell me you see the difference between having an issue with someone like Merc calling Ibram a teen fag over and over again, or me having an issue with someone hijacking a NSFW thread with a complaint about LJ? I know you don't like it when threads you start are hijacked - our NSFW thread has been running a while now (in various incarnations).
We like you - as far as I can say "we" anyway. I don't have the password to the Treehouse Gang personally. They let me up if I have tuna sandwiches. But I'll give you a leg up when I get there, while still reserving the right to give you a Chinese Burn if I don't agree with what you're saying.
I think I need to go to bed. I haven't posted this much in a single thread in.... ever?
