And I forgot to thank jessamyn for making me a MetaFilter Meme. Still, I haven't wended yet, ell or otherwise. But you will be notified and invited to a half-Irish wake in Pismo Beach when I do.

I'm picturing jessamyn standing on a windswept peak of Skellig Michael, reaching out to mathowie On linux servers, gopher is a daemon called "gopherd", which is fun to say aloud. So you're saying that high on the hill was a lonely gopherd?

So, *shyly clears throat* uh, the last two years have been really tough for a lot reasons - one MeFi. Many people here have inspired me to live life more deliberately - like being more compassionate - and really, really, really do a lot more calling out bullshit on various 'isms. . . and because I work/live around a lot of 50-60 year old white male Fox news watching types it's been. . . tough, ... back are the names of a lot (but not all!) of great MeFi women. So when I need the compassion of Jessamyn, the toughness and attitude of NoraReed, ...

There are a plethora of kindnesses I have observed & received on MeFi as well as those indirectly facilitated by MeFi's existence through the old #mefi, MoFi, the 'firc, MeFiChat, MeFi meetups and MeFi friends & acquaintances on Facebook. MeFi & its branches have been a significant part of my life for 14+ years now. Even in the times where MeFi has affected me negatively it has only ... years, Katullus, dejah420, shakespherian, dhartung, Pronoiac, Rustic Etruscan, xarnop, smoke, jessamyn, iconomy, ifjuly, Anitanola, languagehat, ...

I dream about MeFi a lot too. In one dream jessamyn grabbed a handful of cooked spaghetti and slapped me with it because I was an asshole. Later on in the dream we went for a bike ride with other MeFites on adult sized tricycles that had rectangles instead of handlebars, and jessamyn had trouble because her hands were slimy from the spaghetti noodles so I felt really bad. When MeFites I care ...

Well, let me just say... I've been on MeFi for over thirteen years now. I definitely felt intimidated to post for a very, very long time here - I posted very rarely and only the most neutral things. Part of my feeling intimidated was, absolutely, how boyzone it felt on MeFi back then. But it was also the intimidation of putting yourself out there for potential snarking or negativity - putting ... - you are being helpful; other posters can't snark on you. I do not find it surprising at all that jessamyn says (above) AskMeFi skews more female. ...

It starts with a quasi pledge break! Bully pulpit! But yeah unlike Jessamyn East and Jessamyn South, Jessamyn North actually exists so she is my living nemesis.

Phire: I would also totally buy "What Would Jessamyn Do" apparel, just FYI. Surely I'm not alone. You're in luck! There's a ton of merch already available! From this image search, I found this image (WWJD? "Grab a whip and clean house"), which is (IMO), begging for a MetaFilter version, in the mode of the last round, but with Jessamyn as the focus of the image.

LobsterMitten and gnfti are funny, kind, amazing people who have done a difficult job extraordinarily well. I wish I could say enough good things about them. Jessamyn's influence is a large part of what has kept me on this website. Her matter-of-fact, no-nonsense treatment of sexism and related idiocy has consistently been the difference between me throwing up my hands and wandering off to a ...

I just wanted to throw my 2¢ here to say that I will miss Jessamyn as a mod. The second meetup I attended was primarily because Jessamyn was in attendance; I was somewhat of a noob at the time, and still taking in all that was meFi. As a BBS user (and erstwhile co-sysop) in the 80's, I found it mind-boggling that someone could cosys a BBS as large in scope and userbase as MeFi. And it was ...

We've deleted a few of your comments just in the past two hours. Please feel free to let us know if it was the "who needs the facts" comment in the weather thread or the weird racist-sounding "maybe I didn't get into dartmouth because I didn't have an African name" comment in this thread?

I also have a little red book with all of jessamyn's edicts written in it. Those are my edicts for you. yoink would have different ones.

Why is Jessamyn so Radical? It has to do with how her electrons are structured.

Jessamyn you can forward all your grary comments to me and I will post them for you. It will obvsly be a terrible sacrifice for me to tell stupid people that they are stupid but I am a giver like that.

You are standing by Jessamyn west of a white house with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here.

In the meantime, allow me to BLOW your MIND! Google: site:metafilter.com "by jessamyn" AROUND(0) "fuckers" Explanation: this will return metafilter.com pages where the word "fuckers" appears near "by jessamyn". The only downside to this is that you become aware of how often certain mods use the word "fuckers."
