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.

And I will say there has been at least as much endless blabbing from the keep it simple crowd as from everyone else. It seems that some of this is what ita proposed as a thread title - "everybody shut up and agree with me".
Yeah. Because we've finally snapped. No, seriously. At least for me.
FOURTEEN PEOPLE. FOURTEEN.
And, FWIW, I was #15. I asked. But I hear there was a large gap between 14 and 15 in terms of numbers.
See Kat's posts before, with which I heartily agreed. There are things too sensitive to mention? For who? That way lies the Tyranny of the Easily Upset.
Then maybe you need to clarify what you meant by "I don't think you want me to." Because I read it as "the examples I have are too controversial to even bring up."
Also, I can't come up with a definition of "cool kids" or whatever that only includes a group of people who all agree with each other. I mean, really.
"let's all agree with what the cool kids"
Wow. I find that incredibly insulting. And now I'm walking away.

Fourteen people what? In this thread, or on the board, or...?
I just need some context, sorry.
"Cool kids" was a poor choice of words (sorry, Gar), but I agree with his sentiment. I believe that the original proposal made a zillion posts ago to have four more questions that would settle the issues of Votor Turnout, number of seconds, etc., and to use preferential balloting just this once before we debated it to death (too late!), was simple. It's the endless meta-debate on the subject that's made it seem complicated.

That's exactly what I was saying.
I'm cool. But I live in Ohio and my house heats like big barn with open windows.
Hmm...maybe that's not what you meant.

DX did a threadsuck and counted, and 2/3rds of the 1500 posts on this issue have been posted by 14 people.
Actually, as a relative newcomer, I consider all of those who were in favor of preferential voting as "cool kids". Or at least that's how I have them categorized in my mental Buffista who-is-who.
