Someone had suggested X-treme Natter! We're trying this at home! which I and some others liked. But I also saw some posts for Natter xXx.

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.

Natter X-Treme: We're Trying This at Home was in the lead last I checked.
Well, xXx can be saved for thirty. A year from now...
X-treme Natter! We're trying this at home!
I'll add another vote to this one.
Jessica, I know you are unhappy that people have decided to vote on things because you keep mentioning it. I'm not sure what can be done at this point to make you feel better about the fact that people were displeased with how decisions were made previously.
I don't need to be made to feel better. I just want to point out that the people who were using the phrase "bullshit consensus" before need to realize that complaining about the phrase "Gang of 14" now is more than a little hypocritical.
And no, I didn't want a Movies thread particularly. I've been anti-thread-proliferation since it's been an issue. But since I have always been a loud participant in this thread, yes I did feel singled out by those accusations.
These have been mentioned, here and in Natter:
X-treme Natter! We're trying this at home!
Natter xXx.
Natter: X Marks The Spork
Natter X: it's UNIX based
I like the first one.
I like the Spork.

The phrase "bullshit consensus" applied to people doing things which they wanted, which the majority of the buffistas probably didn't want. It contained the implication that people were arriving at a "consensus" of a few likeminded people, as few as five or six, and taking action, while people were looking the other way, whether deliberate or not.
The phrase "Gang of Fourteen", which doesn't bug me in the least, applied to people doing something which an overwhelming majority of Buffistas voted for: setting up a voting system. And doing it in public. And doing it slowly. And doing it in great and very careful detail. And listening to each other.
That's why it's not, as far as I can see, hypocritical to complain about one, then complain about the other.
t softly Go "X-treme"! Choose "X-treme"!
