Ibby was encouraged repeatedly to change her username to Erika, but refused, for reasons I couldn't understand. She even tried to insist for awhile that "Ibram" wasn't an inherently gendered name to begin with, which was just silly. For whatever reason, she could let go of her original name in real life, but kept a major attachment to her original username. Figuring out who you are is tough enough without gender dysphoria thrown into the mix, but I hope she comes out the other side of it wiser and happier.

Burlington, for all its cosmopolitan charm and granola crunching hippies, can still be a rough town for people like Ibby.

I hope Ibby is doing OK.

If you go around telling people what they must do and say, you're going to have a rough time.

Trying to counteract people like you encouraging him to be an asshole. When they find him tied to a barbed wire fence, it'll be your fault.

xoB, what a thought... and with only a tinge of self-righteousness.

Well, I miss Ibby or Erika and Pamela. They both added a lot to this forum

This seems like a good place for my first Cellar post in a looooooooooooong time... missing Cellarites and all (although I always preferred the more rhyming term Cellar Dweller).

Hello again, anyone who remembers me from the dark ages of dial up.

Thanks, Undertoad. And, FWIW, my former username was adamzion. Which is convenient, given that that's my real name.

Oh hey, I didn't know you from way back when, but you've got a couple quotes in the cookie files if I recall correctly. Nice to meet you!

Glad to be back. And quotes from me in the cookie file? All rumours and innuendo, I swear it!
