"created the Buffistas"?!!!?
"That group," of which he was a part. Not him specifically.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
"That group," of which he was a part. Not him specifically.
Yeah, but he wasn't on Salon. He wasn't part of the diaspora, or part of the group at that time. He, or a sockpuppet, or the person whose sockpuppet he now is, first appeared on WX post-diaspora. And he's definitely saying "we" like he was there. He WASN'T.
Sorry. Done shouting. Why am I still so nettled about it all?
Maybe someone should claim being a long ago no longer active Buffista and claim TVTropes is really linked to she who shall not be named.
msbelle wins the internets for today. Please rule them with a firm but benevolent hand.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Staying out of the internet drama.

Was he even on WX? I thought he appeared here.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
"That group," of which he was a part. Not him specifically.
Okay, yeah, I guess, but he/they had less to do with creating this site than I did, and I mostly kibitzed and wrote a few thread descriptions.

Because books.
The weird thing is there was a Bronze (and Beta: Bronze) poster named FASTEddie who is a sweetheart and married to another former Bronzer, and had nothing to do with any of it, as far as I know.

Well, "Fast" Eddie Felson *is* an iconic character.

Oh, I know! I was just surprised to see that name.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Was he even on WX? I thought he appeared here.
I'm pretty sure I remember him delurking on WX. But still.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
You know, all I can do when I hear about undead (zombie?) Gus the Scammy Psuedicide is laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh.
I don't remember the creation of TV Tropes involving any other buffista, certainly not two more who had known Gus for decades, and who were there since Salon. The whole story is false, I'm saying.
Well, YEAH. Kind of like his entire presence here.
Sorry. Done shouting. Why am I still so nettled about it all?
Because of how he lied his ASS off and scammed the shit out of us?
...or maybe that's just me.
