Hi all!
Yeah, like Tammi said Over There, iirc, what are principles for if you’re not gonna stand on them?
Screw them Nazis!
Looking forward to catching up here, including this thread, and also with many folks, it seems, who left Over There long ago!
(In case it matters, this is a new bbs Elsewhere account. I tried signing up with an old one I set up here years ago, but no go.)
Edit: Thanks so much @LockeCJ for help with merging my old and new accounts! And I’ll join the chorus of gratitude for all that you’ve been putting into this place.

Any objections?

If you want to try to recover your old account, I can try to help you with that. If you want to remove or anonymize your old account, I can help with that too. That goes for @Tammi_2.0 as well.
To all those suggesting people to invite, I have no policy against inviting anyone. I doubt someone with bad intentions will last very long here, but I understand the hesitancy. It may make sense, however, to move that specific conversation to a more private space if you want to be extra careful.

There’s Cockerney rhyming slang for everything. Except ‘vampire.’ I checked. So I made up some.
Golden wire
Flame and fire [altho vampires don’t much like that sort of thing 
]
Grimpen Mire [waves at fellow Holmes fans]
Doom and dire
Brush and briar
Brimstone and hellfire
Quicksand and quagmire
Ruby and sapphire
Poet and versifier

Thank you for the offer. I’m fine with this one, so I would indeed appreciate removal of the earlier account, @Millie_Fink

Yes, I gathered as much from the cutie pie avatar. I much prefer the new name! In part because it’s actually memorable (unlike the old one, which my brain can’t pronounce well enough to remember).

Or the Good Clone.
