White Lightning: my first comment was obviously referring to jally’s words about posters being bloodhounds and all that. Hell, the friggin’ quote is in my last reply. As far as jally’s history goes: (s)he does have a lot of trouble posting in the appropriate forum, doesn’t (s)he?
In other words: no, I wouldn’t say “We’ve been through this before” if it weren’t so.
I then proceed to answer her actual question to the best of my abilities. Cut me some slack, I’d say.
Those words are gonna come back to haunt you, Coldfire. 
Coldfire:
An excellent metaphor for natural selection! Poorly-phrased, “unfit” thread titles tend to disappear in favor of well-written, “fitter” thread titles.
Which also somehow seems to explain the reproductive success of sexually-themed thread titles. Paging Richard Dawkins…
I haven’t yet read the responses to this thread. I just wanted to say that, last night I posted my last post, without having ever seen a post of jally’s, asking for y’all to cut her some slack.
I’ve just been reading about her in the Pit and elsewhere, and I want to say:
Particular apologies go out to Fenris and Coldfire. You guys know what you’re doing, I don’t. My bad.
Now to go read the thread. I should have received some scalding responses. Consider me, in advance, properly chastened.
Allow me to be the first to point out that direct personal attacks on posters are generally discouraged in ATMB. Pileons especially are not welcome in the Holy Hall of Saint Tuba. You don’t like Jally, go post it in the Pit.
…and I might add that “making fun” of a poster is considerably different from saying “I’m surprised she’s lasted so long with her bad attitude”. FTR, I don’t think she’s got a particularly bad attitude–I think she’s cute.
So there.
Enough already!
