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

There were 3. Gandalfe, Noni, & me.

Know what? Who are you people?

I put forth a motion, that all of this voting bullshit stops.

If I only had a brain...

Allyson, chill, please. We all agreed to voting.

Sorry Allyson, discussion on stopping voting is closed for 3 months, 6 months or a year TBD.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

OK Jess- fixed. thank you.

OK, I'm confused. We opened the LightBulb thread, then closed it again, because we're still discussing whether the pro-war-thread people have the right to move it to LightBulbs, and we're discussing it here?

Because LightBulbs is where discussion goes once it's been formally moved, and we think it shouldn't be moved, because it was already decided BC?

Yes.

Also, I made a proposal about the time limited discussion, which I thin has to be made before we can decide if the war thread can be discussed.

So, actually, it need to be opened again.

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

The War thread proposal hasn't had enough seconds to be Lightbulbed.

The how-long-do-we-close-discussions-for proposal has 5 seconds, and Lightbulbs will be opening for that discussion tonight at midnight.

Right?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm really hesitant to start the discussion about the war thread now. The US officially started bombing yesterday. We have no idea how long it's going to go on or what's going to happen. I'd much rather leave it off for a little while, see what happens, then decide once we have some idea of how discussing the war in Natter and Bitches and wherever else actually works out.

John, lemme 'splain...no there is too much...lemme sum up. We haven't decided anything, I think. But Wolfram's motion still needs a fourth person to second before it can be moved over anyway.

We do, however, have a proposal on the table that has been seconded four times so we should probably reopen that thread and move the discussion of topic moratorium time limits there.
