@ zarpaulus I hope so, since I started it, and I usually just help out with others' YKTTWs. For the record, I didn't go off in a snit: Real Life intervened (mother's four hospital stays, another death in the family, computer problems...).

@ Talvieno I was doing the same thing, found the blank page, added content, returned later and found the content had disappeared (after which the page was locked), and learned of the "no dialogue titles" rule being effectively etched in stone. I hoped the use of "they" would be sufficient to avoid the rule and preserve the sense of menace in the title itself (as well as encompassing BadAss heroes who do this), but I don't know.

To all and sundry: I wonder if I should make it clear how this differs from ShameIfSomethingHappened? In that trope, there's usually something the target can do or some price that can be paid to buy off the threat, if only for a short time. In this one, often there is no price that can be paid; the threat is coming and the purpose is more to terrify beforehand rather than trying to get the target to do (or stop doing) something. What do you lot think?
