You must spread some Mojo around before giving it to LSPoorEeyorick again.

Prudence and LSPE said it so well.

While it was a joke, the fact of the matter is it could have been very real. To think that this board is less vulnerable to a recurrence of events from the past because it's *exclusive* is silly. As it is there were quite a few unintentional results that were unfunny. Things were said out of anger. Feelings were hurt. This whole event could have been very real.

I'm glad that most of the people on here found it humorous. But I find the dismissive attitude of lighten up get over it and move on it was just an April Fools joke quite insulting. I find nothing funny about playing with peoples emotions and I hope that the damage (while little) that was done can be healed instead of creating a divide.

I think we should just take GD, UG42 and € out back and shoot 'em.

Nah. Then what would I do for sex?

But seriously, I think it's obvious all didn't turn out as anticipated. As much as we'd like to claim to have created a message board utopia we realize it was made by a similar set of flawed human beings. That said, we'll take your input here as some lessons learned, so hopefully as we move forward we'll do things a little better. Nope, can't unring a bell, undo the past, etc., but we can still move forward and that's what I intend to do.

I'd like to nominate Prudence for the “LoT Post Pulitzer” for this thread.

Any seconds? Anyone?

I really feel that she did a magnificent job of summing up the feelings of a lot of us out here who can't attend DL together every Sunday, don't hang out drinking martinis together, and don't shop at the same Sephora. Sure, we all love this place and the family we’ve established here, but some of us just aren't as privy as others to the inner dynamics functioning within the core of posters who created these boards. As unbelievable as some of the things brought up here may be to those of you in the LoT inner-sanctum, those of us out here could very well be led into believing that the group could melt down and close friendships could be thrown aside in anger. Let's face it, one thing that a lot of us here have in common is a fiery personality, or at least one that can get fiery if prodded. To believe that any of our personalities or relationships are invulnerable to flaring up at any time, and at anyone, is a little bit naive. As swanky as we are, we're still just people.

Like Prudence said, some features were devilish and funny, but others were a little too extreme. I’d be all for a repeat next year though. With the lessons learned this year, and the creativity flowing freely through many of the people here, I’m sure that the mother of all pranks can be concocted.... in a happy way.

iSm is a part of the real life group. Yet he felt more pissed than anyone.

Just thought I'd bring that up to even the keel.

Nothing. They would already be stiff.

I don't have anything to add to this conversation that hasn't already been said by others.
