--- Quote from: keithcurtis on 07 May 2018, 19:10 ---I find it a bit confusing that there is debate over shipping/not shipping in a comic which is by and large entirely about relationships.

There's some history going way back on this.

I guess people don't bother with the sticky threads at the top of the forum these days. The thread "Conduct in this forum" contains the original discussion which lays out the expectations of the moderators on the matter of shipping, including Jeph's, in his own words. It remains an reasonable explanation.

I probably read them two or three years ago when I first looked at the forums. Obviously, I did not remember that part. Excuse me.

At the end of that thread, we have this:
--- Quote from: jeph on 16 Dec 2010, 02:21 ---For what it's worth, I don't care if people overanalyze things. I mean, I think it's stupid, and they're wrong 99% of the time, but that's kind of what forums are FOR. It's the stupid arguing, the creepy character-fetishization, and the "I hate character X no matter what and will drag this into every single discussion" idiocy that I have a problem with.

For whatever it's worth, I feel the same way about all of these. Even though I'm responsible for a goodly portion of the stupid arguing. :roll:

--- Quote from: awgiedawgie on 08 May 2018, 11:10 ---Maybe someday she'll decide she is ready to try some kind of relationship, but until she herself says so, that is a purely hypothetical "maybe".

Something struck me over my toast and coffee this morning.
Jeph has really taken his time over the Bubbles and Faye storyline. People assumed he was teasing, and maybe he was, but I think mainly he was ensuring that Faye's transformation was believable.
Hanners is currently on sabbatical, potentially for some time. She could undergo all kinds of transformation.
Who knows what Jeph is preparing for her return?
Just a thought.

Someone mentioned something about Hanners possibly doing some changing during her travels. Might have been in last week's thread. Might have been you, but since you mentioned thinking of it this morning, I'm guessing it was someone else. The fact that she was brushing out the fur of a yak without freaking out is amazing, but I'm not sure what - if anything - that translates to once she gets home. I'm hoping she comes back at least able to hug her friends more than once or twice a year. I'll keep my expectations there for now, so if she makes more progress, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

--- Quote from: Tova on 08 May 2018, 14:03 ---I'm afraid it does mean "two or more." I say this as someone who has spent far too long reading patents - it's a popular term in such documents.
--- End quote ---
Formally speaking, it means the most popular opinion, when there is no majority.
For example, in an election where 40% of the people vote for Alice, 35% for Bob, and 25% for Carol, Alice's backers are in the plurality, but not in the majority.
