Some of us are, some of us aren't. By some magical consensus, this place is rarely touched by some of the storms of nastiness that sweep thru SI in general and the Coffee Shop in particular. Here we really DO get to let the more vulnerable parts of ourselves down, like hair. At Feelies there is the constant thrill/worry that the place will go up in flames. Even so, those flames lead to a slightly different verbal ecosystem that has its own health and rhythm. Like forests that rely on fire as a homeostatic force. I come here to relax with friends. I go there to play web Rugby. Different and interlocking diversions.
