Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier  

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.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I think that's lovely, Nutty.

RE titles - didn't Xander and Cordelia have a conversation about democracy once, with Cordelia anti?

If I only had a brain...

Yet again, I don't think we've demonstrated the need for a heavyweight solution. I prefer having the Stompies continue as constituted. I do like the addition of officially telling the stomp-nominee to come to Bureaucracy and discuss the behavior.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Katie, I remember it being about diplomacy. Something like, "What, not saying something that's true? I'll pass."

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

Something like, "What, not saying something that's true? I'll pass."

Wasn't that tact?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think that's tact, no?

Yeah, that's tact. No, I'm thinking about something in S3, where Cordelia was all "Buffy's got Slayer Power, so why doesn't she get to make the rules?" I went looking in the transcripts, but no luck.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Jon, it's a bad idea to contact them about anything.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

We still need a thread name and an actual thread.

As a thread title for either Voting Discussion 1 or Bureaucracy 2, I like:

When Buffistas Attack.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Are tact and diplomacy not the same thing? she asks, in a teeny tiny voice.

Merriam-Webster:
Tact:
1 : sensitive mental or aesthetic perception [converted the novel into a play with remarkable skill and tact]
2 : a keen sense of what to do or say in order to maintain good relations with others or avoid offense

Diplomacy:
1 : the art and practice of conducting negotiations between nations
2 : skill in handling affairs without arousing hostility : TACT

Can you tell how much I don't want to work today?

Uh, no.
