Bureaucracy 2: Other People Are Hell. Come talk to them about deciding how to decide.

I win.

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.

So true. I took the subtle subtext and implication and wrapped it in neon lights that flashed "Get It?!?"

In fact, for those who were wondering why conversation should cease when voting commences -- this conversation feels like a classic example.

And we better watch it or the UN is going to send election observers to monitor our polling. All because of the monkey lover ballot stuffers.
