And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I want to marry Nutty.

And fourthed, although I sort of kind of think it can be added to what is under vote now?

Seconded for Betsy's.

What are we seconding, exactly?

One Lightbulb topic at a time, or grandfathering pre-vote decisions?

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

grandfathering.

I was seconding grandfathering pre-vote decisions. I didn't see an actual proposal for one Lightbulb topic at a time; I thought that was already implied.

We're seconding Betsy's grandfather.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

or grandfathering pre-vote decisions?

This, I think. So once we establish the waiting period it will apply to decisions arrived pre-voting by consensus. That seems fair.

Okay, then I second too. Or, whichever number we're up to by now.

But we can't Lightbulb it for another week, right?


Betsy HP - Mar 20, 2003 8:43:15 pm PST #8488 of 10001
If I only had a brain...

Right. One proposal in the Lightbulb at a time.

No offense but its barely been 5 hours since I've proposed the war thread, and even if it gets a fourth, it's now two weeks away from discussion and three weeks away from the end of a ballot under the current one discussion at a time proposal. (Notwithstanding it getting mooted by this second proposal - although "decided" needs to be defined.) This is the kind of irrational thinking that we were doing away with in the first place by structuring a formal system. Am I the only one who thinks reasonableness should be a necessary factor here?
