Lisna, thanks for your kind thoughts (as always), and good to see you again.

Yes, here's hoping that Dianne will return and is improving health-wise.

Agree about the great choice of name, Queen Boo! Welcome back to MB.

I'd heard that Hermione had passed away, which is so terribly sad. I didn't know Hermione personally, but from what I witnessed of her on the forum she was very good-hearted and caring toward her friends. May she rest in peace.

I think the least I can do now that she's passed on is to remind people that she is to be remembered as "Hermione".

Was it a trans thing?

Cis people have valid reasons to change their names too.

I'm fairly certain she was from somewhere outside Saginaw Michigan. I only remember this because I constantly cited "America" by Simon & Garfunkle.

IIRC she either knew or suspected her parents would disapprove of her life. Either sexually or otherwise, but it's honestly been years. She was a really good person, and she knew how to spit fire. I was honestly shocked when WWWP told me.

If Hermione came out as non-binary then we're probably using the wrong pronouns which sucks.

I’m sure Arya Stark would know but she doesn’t post here anymore. I will try to remember and ask her the next time I speak to her.

To tell you the truth, I don't know. All I know is that Hermione went off on me one night in Tinychat because I kept using the name "Dayna", on purpose, because I was being a total assh*le. My guess is that name was attached so some serious trauma she was trying to get ahead of and saying that name brought it back.

I'm not sure though. I just regret being so ignorant.

The correct way to troll her is to say that the Ramones are the best punk band.

Queen Boo · 02-04-2022, 01:09 AM

That's the correct way to troll me too.

The Batlord · 02-04-2022, 02:56 AM

I have only pity for those closed to the primal perfection of the Ramones.

Queen Boo · 02-04-2022, 03:26 AM

I like the Ramones I just like a lot of other punk bands way better.
