GSaW ruined TKaM, Sorkin couldn’t possibly make it much worse. I’m Team Nobody on this one.

This entire thread is beautiful.

Thank you! It’s an inversion of Tall, Dark, and Handsome :)

Yeah, I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one...

That Walk Up crap is such bullshit. Yes, we should be encouraging kindness, but not to the exclusion of all else. Then there’s the obvious “if someone shoots you, it must have been your fault! Be nicer next time!” implications...

Well, you can be wrong if you want to.

Spot on as usual, DG

I get what you’re saying as well, but I agree with DG. Just imagine the thought process of a guy who’s planning to bomb an abortion clinic: it’s not going to be “Savin’ babies, they’re gonna throw me a parade! I’ll get cake and ride a unicorn.” It’s “I’ll stop those dirty whores from killing their babies. They…

Unfortunately, I can only ungrey individual comments. Writers/editors have the authority to ungrey people permanently, making that person an “approved commenter”. Approved commenters can then ungrey people on a case-by-case business, and I’m hoping we can band together to make it possible for the greys to be heard,…

No thanks necessary. I’ve been sorely missing the voices that this glitch has effectively silenced, and I’m sure I’m not alone.

I will approve any greyed commenter who replies to me here. Trollish replies will obviously be dismissed.

JLaw for Mother!

Sounds good to me. As for being demoted for mouthing off, well, I’m not seeking it out, but neither will I keep my criticisms to myself, and let the chips fall where they may.

Yes.

Three-Fingers wins. I knew my Eric was weak; I googled “rat-faced actors” to find my pic.

That’s a good one. I do love Sam Waterston..

I’d be willing to help too, but I’m not really here enough to reliably head this task. I think it probably just needs a few approved commenters who know theyll have time to approve replies for a while, really. Maybe I’m making it more complicated than it needs to be, my brain is a hyper place at the moment lol.

Aww, thank you! It’s something I’ve been kicking around for a few days. I think if you don’t mind, though, I’d rather you organize it or delegate to someone to do so. To be blunt, I’m hypomanic right now, and while it can lead to good ideas and the fabulous red hair I’m currently rocking, it does make me a little…

Check out the idea I just shared with Jinni, and let me know what you think, if you don’t mind.

I think until this is sorted out, maybe a few approved people could try to start a thread under each article specifically for the greyed commenters to reply to, so that person can be sure to see and ungrey them. If there’s anything abusive or if anyone edits after they’re approved and it’s bad, it can still be…
