I’m not back _per se_ - I never really left, but I rarely post here anymore. (I’m on LJ if anyone really needs to get ahold of me.)

Wow, how long has it been since there’s been a thread in the pit about Scylla? Had he got tired of not recieving negative attention? I guess so, as I can’t really see any other reason for this thread to exist.
