[This thread is now closed. A new spillover thread is available]
It’s time to set aside a second #spillover thread as a constructive space for tangential discussions which are off-topic on other threads. This is part of our blog netiquette, which has the general goal of making it as simple as possible for commentors to find discussions focussed on topics of particular interest without entirely stifling substantive tangents of sorta-related or general interest. #spillover is also a space for those perennial disagreements on premises and standpoints.

Jill, you can prove this by fucking Jeff Fecke and admitting it on your blog. In addition to giving him exactly what he hangs around the Femblogs for, it [...]

I’ve had a lovely week here. Thanks to all for reading and discussing. I’m pleased to report that we’ve had a discussion on the porn thread that has been (so far) very interesting, by and large respectful, only-somewhat-rehash-y, moderately useful, and almost entirely asshat-free, all with a very very minimal amount of moderation. This is [...]

I’m sorry for all the comments that were stuck in the moderation queue today — I was away from my computer all day, and wasn’t able to clear them at all. It was nothing personal. The next few days are going to be fairly busy for me, so the mod queue will be checked less [...]
