Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

We run up a set of sequential numbers for each one and see how that comes out with preferential voting, no?

The question is that people are thinking there is no consensus about whether or not to try pref voting just this once.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I still think that to do a runoff we would have to separate the 2 questions in #4.

If they are two questions, they should be separate, but that's my view, which is in the minority, pass me the whip.

Hey, hey now. We already have one whip. We don't need two. That's just muddying the structure of power here.

The question is that people are thinking there is no consensus about whether or not to try pref voting just this once.

Specifically, that it's a false consensus of the handful of peeps who still have enough brainspace to come into Kafka at this point.

Damn. Foiled again.

So how do we get past that. Because my brain is rapidly failing and I am about to leave my house and go to a liquor store.


bitterchick - Mar 11, 2003 5:26:14 pm PST #7113 of 10001

Yep. I got the whip. I ain't afraid to use it.

In fact, I'm really looking for an excuse to use it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

it's a false consensus of the handful of peeps who still have enough brainspace to come into Kafka at this point.

Right about now, I'm thinking that if you don't come into Kafka, you don't expect to have your silent wishes taken into account.

I know that's what I give up when I stay out, anyway.

In absence of any other way to move forward, why stay put?

True, that. Well, sort of true.

I'm not sure, if one has given up on this thread, that one even is aware that there are opinions or options up for offer.

But, eh, can't force people to give a good g-d damn.

But if you've given it up, surely you know stuff is being argued about and decided upon? That's what it's always been for. If you stay out (reasonable choice of action), then that's precisely what you're missing, including the specifics.
