    - Pixie is now a Both Sides guy? -- nm - Strongbad Jul 10, 04:34
    - I'm not saying he's right or wrong. But he's apologizing because "someone asked me a question and I answered them". WTF kind of apology is that? -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 9, 20:07 3
      - That's clearly an apology for potentially misrepresenting ABC, and could fall under a policy that applies regardless of elections. - Max Jul 9, 21:31 1

  - Date ….. another?!!! -- nm - Pippy 🇨🇦 Jul 9, 18:57 2
    - I had an ongoing relationship in the mid 2000s with someone I’d met at DragonCon in the yaoi panel. I didn’t know he was a furry at the time. - Qale Jul 9, 19:17 1
