And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

disagreeing with me again isn't going to stop me either. IJS.

I'm not going to force this issue

Pick. One.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Um, why? This is administrativa.

True, but I think that we're picking at one specific point so hard that those who might want to read this thread for other points are getting turned off. Set up a new thread, people can laugh at those who want to continue this discussion, and once it's as resolved as it's going to get, close the thread off.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

that those who might want to read this thread for other points are getting turned off.

What other points? Seriously, this is the thread at the moment. Creating a new thread will just mean we have two bickering threads, and one is one more than I need.

(except for about 400 lurkers who secretly agree with me)

This long time lurker does not agree and thinks representation is the last thing this wonderful place needs.

I can see I'm in the super-minority on this issue, (except for about 400 lurkers who secretly agree with me).

This statement pisses me off. Not because I think you're necessarilly wrong, but because it is, by definition, unprovable. "The will of the people," indeed!

And note that I'm not taking sides on this issue at this point.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I've made a couple of forays into No Man's Land, but I think my usual "lalala let's all be happy and sensible" attitude won't make a dent.

I'm C&Ping this anonymously because I agree with it (I think a LOT of people agree with it).

Dudes, we're Buffistas. This is not how we do things.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

And disagreeing with me again isn't going to stop me either. IJS.

So, this is the Beat Everyone To Death With Your Plan Until They Agree? Very uncool.

I can see I'm in the super-minority on this issue, (except for about 400 lurkers who secretly agree with me).

Really? I'd like to hear from them.

Just re-posting this because it made me SO happy:

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hi Maggie! Hooray for de-lurking!

FTR, I too am against having representatives or whatever.
