Ben ,'The Killer In Me'
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.
I don't understand the "Grrrr, how could she possibly link to a site that was being discussed?" feeling.
For my part, it's not necessarily that it's a high-profile link to us (there's more than a couple of people I like who are here because of a high-profile link). It's because the link to us comes in that specific article.
Or possibly I just got all old and cranky somewhere.
As far as internet etiquette, there's nothing wrong with linking to us.
Ah, got it.
But in this particular case, I'd rather she didn't.
That makes sense. This is not the influx we'd want. Although anyone who was really curious could Google anyway. Thankfully, people on the Internet are lazy.
I'm wagering that most people will just click on tvtropes and get lost there for the better part of the day.
Thanks for explaining, guys.
I used to not be able to drink tequila except masked in a margarita and then I had good tequila. I don't like cough syrupy drinks and I'm not a huge fan of gin (I do like a gin & tonic w/ lime on a hot hot day though). None of my bad drinking experiences have led to a prohibition of any kind of liquor in my life. Oh...possibly I wouldn't be able to drink a wine cooler. I haven't had occasion to try one in 20+ years though.
You guys have been cracking me up like crazy these last two days. Thank you.

I've found that many of the commenters on IO9 posts don't click on the link that the post is referring to, so I doubt there'll be much.
I'll have a look at the logs when I get home.

Me neither. At least, not any more. Anything bad from 20 years ago is well gone now.
Is the link to the overall site itself, or to a particular thread? If the former, I have every confidence we can throw up a sufficiently thick barrier of nattering about snow, recipes, politics, the Olympics, and Supernatural reruns that anyone who wouldn't fit in with board culture will be driven away long before they find out anything about Gus' posting history to get polarized over.

Overall site.

Me neither, but I have been reminded again recently that once I hit a certain point, it becomes difficult for me to moderate my speed of consumption properly. I get all ALCOHOL YUMMY, find myself waking up with a hangover, wonder where the party went, and spend the next several days listening to all the dumb-ass shit I said, did, and fell over.
Heh heh heh.
I've come to the realization that Vodka is so not my friend.
