Giles ,'Get It Done'
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 this does officially mean that we have dumped our 4th measure down the toilet already. Not that I mind all that much, seeing as I voted against it, but if I had been all for the process, I'd be pissed right now.
Well, I think we can sort of get around that. We're not really voting on a new issue. We're re-voting because we're unclear as to what the answer really was in the first vote.
but if I had been all for the process, I'd be pissed right now.
I hope there is some tolerance for the notion that the process is not yet in place and we're fumbling our way toward it.
I'm ready to go with Jon's ballot as amended by Cindy's intro.
My brain has now reached its saturation point on this subject and is vigorously rejecting any new input on the matter.
We haven't finished the first ballot yet. We finish that, and move on with ramifications of it to new and wondrous votes.

whimpers okay
Given the number of folks who have said they're OK with the wording as is, I'm going to leave the ballot as is. Except that, as an olive branch to those who think the descriptions are leading, I will change "there will need to be runoff ballots" to "there may need to be runoff ballots", and "a small percentage of the total votes" to "a fraction of the total votes."
I hope this is a good compromise. I'll be back in 45 minutes after I finish watching... uhhh... something I just downloaded.
... with our hands are tied behind our backs, ...

I like this, with Jon's suggested wording change. (edit) Err, and what Java said.
I've actually gotten a bit confused as to what we're trying to accomplish. I was hoping for a more balanced view of what Buffistas want, and also less talking. I think that once the voting procedure has been ironed out maybe this will happen.
Well, that was a 45 minutes I don't need to "salvage."
Good catch Java.
I think that once the voting procedure has been ironed out maybe this will happen.
And I still really believe that this will be the case.
I.... Have... No... Brain.
Neither do any of us, Bets. It's a requisite for Bureaucracy. Have to check your brain at the door.
Comments like that aren't helping. I'm trying to read and understand the posts here in order to make an informed decision. I don't think that's deserving of mockery.
