If we purge you by accident, please just let us know you'd like to have active correspondent rights and we'll send you a new invite. (As one reader noted to us this morning, it also allows you to update your email address since some folks are still using addresses from ages ago.)
We're not cleaning house! We're just cleaning up. We would love nothing more than to have a full complement of 100 correspondents.
Everyone who has been commenting can still do that the same way, whether you're a correspondent or not.
Still, it's not an exact science. It's just me and and the delete key. So if I fuck up, just let me know.
Thanks,
Leslie K
PS: I've already made colossal errors. People I did not intend to purge got purged anyway. If it's any consolation - and I know it's not - I burned by corn while I was trying to fix what I had done.
Does this mean you've eaten the alpaca?
ReplyDeleteI haven't eaten it, but I am wearing it.
ReplyDeleteHow many does this purge make us? I know we were almost at capacity, but only about a quarter of the correspondents were regular posters.
ReplyDeleteAh, Strelnikov will feel right at home here!
ReplyDelete(That's a joke, Leslie.)
Frod, what are you getting at with these comments? On first blush it feels as if you're doing your best to offend me. I don't know why you would do that. Is it your intention to imply that I'm humorless, and worse yet, given your similar comment on another post, humorless because I'm a woman? Forgive me if I'm missing something. I would not have said a word except you've made the comment at least twice today.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I actually assumed I'd missed some fight because Frod has actually done this on three different posts.
DeleteLeslie is about the least humorless person I know, and about the most patient and agreeable this side of Fab Sun (who of course is the king of equanimity).
There's something odd about these comments. I'm sure it's something silly.
Really passive aggressive. I think he's angling for a fight. Leslie won't fall for it. I don't get people.
DeleteIf you want numbers, you need a Fight! Fight! Fight!
DeleteGreat idea. I do this on Facebook periodically, too, except I'm not polite enough to announce it.
ReplyDeleteI think Frod's just riffing off the term "purge".
ReplyDeleteAww, I got purged just when I was committing to posting more often. Realistically, though (judging by my track record with activities like blogging), that commitment would have fallen through. You're right, I should just mail in any posts I feel the urge to write. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy to add you back, but you can also make use of the email anytime. If you ever get free and want to post more regularly, it's easy to add you full time again.
DeleteThey purged ME! I mean, I know it has to be a mistake, because everyone there at the shithole compound in Ogden knows that you don't mess with Walt or Texas, unless you want me to bring the crazzy to your doorstep.
ReplyDeleteI did send Leslie a note and she set me back up. Now the pressure I feel to produce is something akin to what I used to feel before corporations starting through grant money at me just because I am, well, me.
Cal dared me, Walt.
