Wait, didn't SA want to modify her proposal to role in the other change? I'm confused.

Our wings are not tired.

SA, do you want to revise the proposal and get a second round of seconds?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

the initial proposal is NOT what has to be the final proposal out of lightbulbs, right?

Yes, in the past I'm sure the final proposal changed through discussion in lightbulbs.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Fwiw, my two cents is that--apart from the non-fiction bucket thread--I would prefer to have single show threads in the "TV" folder so that we can follow whatever shows we want to follow and be spoiled for whichever we choose to be spoiled for at whatever pace that we are able. If that ain't gonna happen, as I suspect is that case, then Natter whitefont is my preference.

I've already given up on discussing anything but non-fiction in b.org, but I don't want to be complicit in my silence.

Catching up, so if I'm repeating things, I'm sorry.

I also don't like the impact that I felt they had on Natter and the board as a whole. That part for me is not so fine.

I really want to hear more about this. I didn't particularly notice any real change in Natter, etc., but I won't say I was paying much attention to where I was then. All of which is to say, I wasn't aware of any particular change. So arguing for the threads is easier for me - where and what differences am I not seeing? I'm not cool with upending Natter or board tone etc. if we don't have to.

[And now I feel like I'm all "PROVE YOURSELF TO ME" which I don't mean at all. Just, I'm not getting it, and I want to understand better.]

For the people who stopped talking about television in Natter, there were just as many who picked up talking about television in the experimentals. Not to mention the occasional robust, 50-post discussion on a particularly strong episode of a show. That is something that I don't think would fly in Natter, not in the same way.

Yeah, I'd agree with that.

Regarding proposals, you can end up with anything you want as the final voting proposal, basically. But I'd strongly prefer and suggest taking these thing separately. Do we have a stompy to open Lightbulbs for the proposal on the table?
