If that's the case, all the convo will have accomplished is bringing about a lot of frustration, and the risk of scaring people off of choosing to use a polling method that takes place on a form, rather than gleeming the consensus-that-wasn't from a thread.
Yes. This.
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.

Y'know, much of the conversation has been clarifying what the proposals being voted upon actually mean, and what their implications might be; but I think you're right. It feels like it generates more confusion than it addresses.
So if we have a vote on ceasing discussion while voting, I think you've convinced me to go the yes.

I agree with folks upthread. I think the "What If" game just leads to more confusion and upset. We don't know yet what will pass and what won't. It seems logical to wait until we know the results before we really start pulling things apart to figure out what it all means.
But I think the "What If" game just leads to more confusion and upset.
Yes; that's where I was agreeing with you.
I know. I just like being agreed with so I thought I'd reiterate. Cause since I've decided to cut back on The Phoenix, I'm not getting the same amount of validation that I used to.
I just want to say that that voting form kicked butt. Very simple to use. Thanks.
Kat, I agree with everything you have ever said, and, for the record, everything you will ever say.
Well,
almost
everything.
