hirez'Triggering', right? Terrible passive-voice internet buzzword. A thing done to someone by someone else invented by someone else again who'd written one too many lab reports or who liked phrases akin to 'lessons were learned'. I'm sure you can do your own reading-between-the-lines there.
This is the JHR version:
"You're a cock. I'm sure you thought you were being terribly clever, but now you look like a bell-end. You will continue to remind me of a bell-end for quite some time. I trust that was the outcome you were looking for.
(Hint for future generations: it looks very much as if the Usenet debating style ran out of steam a couple of years ago. I merely mention this for extra value.)
A jolly interesting story spoiled by excess Mawk. Since we've had multiple Drs. in the same place, the alleged paradox was just an excuse for breaking out the string section of the BBC orchestra. Having a psychotic ninja genius Pond about the place would have been an excellent turn of events.
Oh well, I'm sure fandom will provide.

Date: 2011-09-10 10:54 pm (UTC)When people say "OH NOES TRIGGERING" I tend to want to tell them to just fucking well deal with it, and that maybe if they can't deal with even the mention of things, they should maybe a) not be on the internet, and b) not actually ever leave their house again. You know, just in case.
This is probably not very charitable of me.

Date: 2011-09-11 01:49 pm (UTC)I have issues of my own - but those issues and how I react to and deal with them is my problem, no-one else's. The moment other people start censoring themselves so as not to touch on those issues is the point at which I've made them someone else's problem. And at that point I'm guilty of being a dick, which is something everyone should strive to avoid, I think.

Date: 2011-09-11 08:28 am (UTC)Thirty years of bitterness and utter solitude. I think it's the way the time was spent, rather than the fact that time had passed, that was the deciding factor. IMO, of course.

Date: 2011-09-12 01:20 am (UTC)SPOILERS IN CASE YOU HADN'T FIGURED IT OUT:
I liked how the Doctor gave Rory the decision to make and then just got on with things. And the end bit of the show, when Amy asks "Where is she?" and it just ends-- RTD wouldn't have been able to resist dragging that out for a massive round of soggy weeping and moaning, punctuated with fart jokes and probably a fat guy exploding.

In short; :p
