Hi, D.A.R.E.!

I'm not going to roast you. I thought you did a fantastic job.

[TheAnswerIs42]

No kidding. As we've said before, we really do try not to roast people. I'm not that happy that we've gotten that reputation among the writers, to be honest.

[thebigcheese]

Personally, I think we do more roasting of each other than we do of the Board writers.

Have multiple writers made a (serious) reference to it?

[thebigcheese]

Hmm...well, sometimes it's hard to tell when people are being serious.

[Craig Jessop]

I'm flattered that they care enough about us to care.

I should clarify—I saw Hypatia call us the "hate board," but I haven't seen anyone else mention it until D.A.R.E., just now.

Don't worry, friends. I like you guys. I read all the time just to see what readers think of us. Sorry if my response gave the wrong impression; I thought the "hi guys!" bit was enough to show that I was joking. Tough to convey tone without using emoticons, and I'm not really a fan.

Welcome to the Board Board! Just out of curiosity, what's your avatar?

By the way, I thought it was funny.

All I know is, your version of heavy-handed is Sesame street-esque compared to some of the things for which we've taken writers to task. If that's as malicious as you're going to get, its a safe bet you will not see much in the way of criticism here.

The avatar is Noodle, from the Gorillaz, and is the inspiration for the alias.

I didn't think I was actually being too sharp with anyone. If you'd like, I'm more than happy to rile people up for you.

Would you? Bob has been pressuring me to find an excuse to throw you folks a party.

Aha! One question put to rest.

You don't need an excuse.

I didn't even read that question until Craig made this thread because it was about basketball, and I hate basketball! HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE

Only 9 hates?

Well, I gotta save some for all of the other hateworthy causes out there. You can't go giving out hate like pretzels.
