Polite request that this get taken to Natter. (Also, umm... please no comments about Turkish Ambassadors, because then we get into friend-of-a-friend territory which I'm honestly not especially comfortable about.)

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Did we decide on a Music thread title? Are we starting it now, or waiting until tomorrow?

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
an entire thread full of whitefont.
We could use a thread like this. Maybe billytea's thread for putting trolls on trial. You could page past 10 pages of blank and think, "Whew! Glad I missed that argument." And the White Font Thread would be totally easy to catch up in.
But I wonder why it needs to be a vote. In the past people have asked for new threads to address a particular interest (like TTT or Farscape). If enough people were interested to sustain such a thread it was made. It wasn't a majority vote.
We did put "When come back, bring tape" up for opposition. I argued that it wasn't necessary, but it's worked out just fine.
Trying to Nilly the post in which my spelling and grammar were so fucking atrocious. I know Nilly. I am no Nilly.

Nilly has the power to create links to any bit of web-based information, and the ability to hear cries for help from any thread, any time. She's either an Internet superhero (with a mild-mannered secret identity) or a scary cyborg network creature lulling us into absolute reliance on her memory.
I'm glad I finally know how to pronounce "mieskie," "mie" as in "michael." I'd sometimes said it as "meeskee" and thought it was like an Eskimo word, sometimes "myeh-skyeh." But can I just say... if "DNFtEC" is our policy, we suck at it.

Susan W. I hope you know you are among friends here. And there is nothing you can say that won't offend someone. If you are attacking politicians or a political party, than anyone who takes offense at that can - go drink a martini and cool off. Because expressing a point of view someone does not agree with is not a personal attack against them. Vehemently disagreeing with a political party is not a personal attack on every member of that political party. Expressing disgust with a politician is not an attack on those who admire that politician. And if someone tries to make you feel like those things are personal attacks, tries to make you feel guilty for expressing a legitmate point of view - shame on them.
