There really isn't all that much to discuss, unless you want to get into the subject of how all of the characters were brought up in abusive and/or traumatizing environments and are now having to learn how to cope as adults (and then turning that conversation to Hannelore in today's strip).

Nick and Marla:

Works for me. Sad stuff.

Bawwwwww.

Border Reiver:
Concur.

Call more often H!  Otherwise when you do call Dad'll assume the worst (and barring the serious injury or death of a child there is little worse).  On the other hand it gets him on the phone.

Method of Madness:
What's this sex-offender Buckley talk?  CAD's one of the strips I'll check soon after midnight (along with LICD and xkcd), and I never realized how hated CAD was here.  It's a fairly solid webcomic, and come on, how can you hate the Space Archaeologist arcs?  It's like an incompetent Indiana Jones...in SPACE!

And Tergon, you say that "speculation as to what may happen is also fine, and even relationship-type speculation is also okay to an extent."  Well, for the most part, (aside from a few obvious jokes), that's all that was occurring.  Not so much "MANNERS SHOULD TOTALLY DO IT" as much as "well, who knows, they might find something in each other at this rate."  And speculation isn't shipping, shipping implies that you have a desired outcome.  Saying something might or might not happen is different, and as far as I can tell, not against the rules.

Tergon:
Oh, no doubt, MoM.  But even the obvious jokes around here... well, we all remember the Perfect Shitstorm over the breakup arc.  Obvious trolls may be obvious to most: people who spam that their ship is the only way to go, or people who post for the sole purpose of saying that QC is badly written and has shitty characters.  They're a dime a dozen, but some still poke their heads up once in a while, and occasionally they manage to wrangle a reaction.  I believe - and I hope he'll correct me if I'm wrong - that Cold was just nipping that potential in the bud before it started to grow.
Please don't think I'm mini-modding or anything like that.  I've learned my lesson on being an idiot in the past!  It was just that you seemed surprised at Cold's response and, well, I thought I would point out that there is a basis for his reaction.  Saying what the forum rules are isn't my job, I was just pointing out that the standard is there and that it is Cold's place to do exactly what he did.  I think we can all agree that nobody wants another Shitstorm thread, and it's just a sensitive topic at the moment with the breakup arc so fresh in our minds.
