You didn’t want to argue with a moderator that quoted actual parts of the book wherein vampires were doing exactly what you insisted they don’t do? The point wasn’t to accuse you of also being a racist but that these insistences on the absolute purity of the subject matter at hand usually come from people filling in their preferences and head canon and not the material itself.

And as we can see, some people take it much too far.

Apologies for any confusion. It’s not as bad as racism. Not even a little.

@Macha

She had a good run though. 83 and a hell of a life story.

Yeah, just read about her too. Sad.

Did anyone mention Bob Barker? I feel like we overlooked Bob Barker.

@Derp Scroll up, homie. I did mention him.

SO YOU DID.

@Macha Derps are wonderful. I have it on good authority.

It's been my experience that breaking communications down into smaller bits is sometimes an easier way to do this, especially if it's done in writing. I have to do this for some of the people I work with.

For example, I'll send an e-mail that might say:

• Let's schedule a meeting to talk about the agenda for <thing>. Are you free at <X Time>?

And then send a follow-up e-mail that says:

• Let's make sure that we talk about <this other thing too>.

And then maybe one that says:

• Hey, can you make sure to do <this other thing> at some point?

Is it a pain in the ass? Yes. Should adults have to communicate like this? No. Should your coworker or whoever be trying to develop better coping mechanisms to deal with long-form communication about important topics? Absolutely.

But we do what we have to do to make our lives the least amount of hell possible, so if I have to send a million e-mials like a micromanager, then that's what I'm going to do.

I mean I was going to sub even before I saw they were playing Dead Space.

But doubly so since they're playing Dead Space.
