And there was no war "decision". ;)
Wolfram, there was a war decision in PRECISELY the way there was a Firefly thread decision. It just happens that one decision was positive and the other negative.

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.

whether this is a NEW proposal because the circumstances changed,
The circumstances have not changed. I asked for a war thread *should there be a war*. We had the discussion well aware that there was likely to be a war very soon.
It isn't as if we said "Should we have a Spinoff thread if there ever is a spinoff?"; we said, rather, "There's a war coming up, should we have a thread?"

Things were decided.
They were decided against.
Betsy is correct.
This should NOT be revisited.

Oh-- OK-- I take it back.
I was just sort of afraid that since, say we'd made the decision not to have any other TV show threads that this would remain in force after all the ME shows were off the air and we were only nattering.

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
Message 8262, Plei. About five people said "okay, we like lightbulbs best," and I'm voting - no, wait, I'm not. I'm suggesting we take that as consensus, because this is such a minor issue that I can't imagine anyone will care and we made sure not to do anything denigrating that could upset people.

I don't oppose consensus on this naming. *g*

I don't care what we call the thread as long as it is clear.

I have to agree that to revisit old decisions would be a terrible idea.
We introduced a voting system because people weren't happy with the old "consensus" system, but we never said decisions of the old system could be revisited.
Let's not forget that there were Natter people who might have wanted war talk moved out, and they didn't get their way either.
