Petulant Syrup is a meeting place for eccentric, pretentious intellectuals to contribute their thoughts.
Wonderings, wanderings, musings, obsessions, creative play, and respectful debate are all encouraged here.
Please refrain from making posts that are blatantly sexist, racist, nationalist or homophobic. If you feel a need to do so, please give us a good explanation for it or the post will be deleted.
Also, posts directed at one other specific member of the community will not be tolerated. If you have a personal problem with another LJ user, I suggest you settle it through email or elsewhere.
