Humor will not be tolerated!! -Portia

Dragon Lady: If you want to see why the writers insist this question had a quality answer, you should (as mentioned a bajillion times here) listen to the podcast. It was the subject of long conversation by multiple writers--including Hypatia--with direct experience, who gave very good, thorough advi...

As for your other point: the Boardcast is indeed an answer. Dude, you can say that, but it doesn't make it true. :) It's your opinion. And that is perfectly fine. I hold a different opinion. It seems I missed the meeting where ahem. was declared Official Protector and Executor of the Board Canon. I...

I'm still not sure if you've even listened to the podcast. Umm... yes I did. I said that. Your clarification on this was in a response that posted barely before CK's. Your only mention before that was "which I admittedly didn't really listen to." Very vague, and his view of that was justi...

I'm curious why nobody has responded to this thread. In my view, the silence on the matter greatly indicates the Editors' culpability. It would calm my troubled soul if somebody were to reassure me. Probably because their last response was 3.5 hours ago and they have JOBS? They might not even know ...

Oh, good...I thought we were overdue for some pointless drama on the Board. I'm glad we're back in top form! And this time, with a passive-aggressive maybe-an-actual-writer, who chooses to criticize in public rather than discussing personally or in our own writer forum, which is an excellent place ...

Heh. I'm surprised at myself for not catching that, Dead Cat. I'm sure there's some sociolinguistic implication about why we say "girls and boys" but not usually "women and men," but I'm not sure what it is. I say "boys and girls" more than "girls and boys." ...

Is it too late for Stargirl and I to hop on board? CK hasn't told me if he's coming yet, but I'll throw my stake in.

I just thought I would point out how incredibly outraged I am by the amount of Japanese restaurants built just minutes away from Pearl Harbour. Disgusting. The Japanese who bombed Pearl Harbor are not at all like the peaceful people who are building the Japanese restaurants. (ETC. FOREVER) So, wait...

I live in a building with an Islamic prayer room in it, and I have yet to hear anyone refer to my building as a 22-story mosque because of that. The Wilkinson's Center has a room set aside as an Islamic prayer room. I vote we start calling it the Wilkinson's Mosque. :twisted: Not only that, but it'...

Second, submitted the comment, and it was rejected based on that technicality. I'm not going through all the effort again; commenting on the 100 hour board really is a futile endeavor. Everyone's still figuring out some of the changes that happened with 5.0. I hope you can work with us and not give...

He submitted it! Quick, summarily reject it! That'll show 'im.

(Just playin'.)

Yeah, that sounds great. I'm going to go get various tacos in a few minutes...

Since you seem to have some authority on the matter (more than I, anyhow), I'd say this is the kind of thing that qualifies as a useful comment submission. Be the first one of your friends to use the new commenting system!

Hatred.

Just so everyone knows, CPM and Yellow now get all the props ever. Yes, even more than Hypatia did for her awesome A/C answer. This was a ridiculous amount of work that was pulled off in such a classy manner that they deserve kudos (the congratulatory kind and the chocolate kind) from all of us. Tho...

I'm just glad to see that anyone actually READ my Israel answer! (no, I didn't vote for it myself. yet?)

I thought it only just that Hypatia receive all of my props for this answer. The insane amount of time and effort invested in answers like these clearly shines through, and I think Hypatia could use most (if not all) of everyone else's props, too.

I always cringed a little at the end of the second and third verses. I get that "the wicked who fight against Zion shall surely be smitten at last" probably has a different connotation to someone who's been attacked by mobs, but it always sounded a little petulant to me. Are you familiar ...

Stargirl and I will indeed be there to consume the portions planned for us. Thanks for the invite!
