Again: Why are you replying to complaints about your posting behavior with talking about Allen Potter?

He remains who I thought he was.

What on Earth does Allen Potter have to do with complaints about you?

Wow. I had no idea. I don't think she was enough of a glamourpuss for that role or show.

No, you haven't said, Donna. People are asking you to consider what they're telling you about your behavior and how you're handling posting here, and in return you're just suggesting they don't 'get you.' Yursoaking's analysis of your behavior pattern is correct.

Oh, I think someone said she went the Marcy Walker route - born again. I guess that might close the door too.

Those '80s clips - if there's an encapsulation of Paul Rauch's OLTL excesses better than peroxide blondes, a blind Clint Ritchie rappelling into a cave to escape stereotypical New York mobsters, Sharon Gabet howling away at disappearing corpses, and OTT fratboys sneering about being 'stoned on coke' I don't know of it. But it is a lot of fun. I did like seeing Viki and Tina by the same old kitchen table, too. I've only occasionally seen much of them bonding like that back in Andrea's original run - most of my more loving Viki/Tina memories were with Karen Witter. I like how they're playing an instrumental version of "The Way You Make Me Feel" at the restaurant - they couldn't afford the actual Michael Jackson vocal track even in the '80s? Lisa Peluso was always so game on any show no matter how big or in this case pointless the role. She did so many shows. She was a lifer too, a child actress I believe, and she had to fill big, big shoes taking over a key Erica Kane analog role as Ava on Agnes' Loving. It's hard to replace Roya Megnot, let alone the larger shadow of Lucci and Erica. But she was great on every show. I guess she's entirely retired to real estate now but she'd make a good short term villain on GH or something.

It also doesn't really matter what kind of presence you had at another forum in another time. When you refuse to learn the rules of how or where to post, or what's appropriate vs. just spam or unwieldy, you give the distinct impression that while you're being outwardly polite, you are not genuinely taking anything we say seriously because you believe you have some authority we do not. You don't. I know that you were on other forums or even on Usenet. That was almost twenty years ago. Things have changed. This is not your home forum, and you are not the center of it. You cannot just keep posting long swaths of books, or long URL strings, or stuff in the wrong threads. Like, even a decade ago that was bad netiquette. I don't know what role you or your partner felt you held elsewhere, but it is not relevant to SON.

Why were you posting pictures of them in this thread on soap ratings from the '80s in the first place?

sigh

Two weeks(?) behind: D.J. doing cheesy magic tricks for the wrong baby in the NICU was gold. The kind of comedy Michael Fishman excels at. The moment where Dan accidentally calls Louise "Rose" was beautifully played by Goodman and Sagel.

No it doesn't. We're familiar with these books, and when you do nothing but post large swaths of them constantly you are not only rehashing old information (often with errors aplenty) but you are clogging up the threads for discussion.

Please, please, please stop posting passages from a book. We have all asked you not to.

Not enough. She's far more fringe than Bernie, and her record is dirtier than Stein's.

Are we going by majority, Donna? You'd lose that vote.

Warren is still trying to connect more with the black vote from what I've seen and read, though I think there's always more to be done. And as a few recent pieces note, she has yet to move too much of the entrenched Obama/Biden support. I personally think it's early and that can change, but I also think Joe will keep a block of that vote no matter what.

I'm not disputing that Warren has a weakness on that question and needs to clear it up. But I think her ideas and plans have much more substance than Sanders'. Meanwhile, in kamikaze news: And now:

That's fine. I'm not letting those idiots take the word from me.

They are. But that ideological conflict doesn't change anything about the facts on the ground for me. I think Warren is the one, and I think she's going to win. I think Joe can, but I also think he is weaker by the day and he wouldn't have been my choice for the nominee either way. It was always going to be Warren or Harris for me.

There's progressives - who have always been a part of the party - and then there's the Bernie wing, which is very different. I consider myself a progressive.

I don't agree. I think Warren can and will win. And one way or another I think Trump will lose. Nihilism is one thing, but the polling runs against it.
