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 ...

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.

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."

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.

The confusion here may be that while these two people are different people, this wasn't Anatoly's first account on the site. So you're probably remembering mostly correctly but that one detail was off, but that one detail was also key to the premise of this metatalk post. A gasp came from the assembled throng. "Yes, one detail," said Cortex, "which the murderer did not take ... mod, "But first, a pause while I finish this enormous donut." From her plush chair, Jessamyn smiled; the endgame was now in full swing. ...

Can we replace Jessamyn's staff badge with one that says justice? FOR GREAT JUSTICE of the peace

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

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

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.

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 ...

"JW:JP. I think Matt needs to give jessamyn her star back." I think she should have to get elected Sheriff first. :P

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.

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?

jessamyn: "But more to the point, this is one of those ideas that, on the list of subsite ideas we've batted around, shows up somewhere in the middle. Like, it seems to be reinventing the wheel a bit and also feels like it might be a touchstone for some drama. I guess I'd be asking: besides the community of people here, is there a reason to feel that the general Mefi post/comments thing would ...

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? You seem to be trolling. If you're not trolling you may have to adjust your joke-o-meter a ... . You're too kind to him, Jessamyn. He actually didn't use a capital "I" and his second sentence started with a ...
