Joyce ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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.

Am I the only one who thinks reasonableness should be a necessary factor here?
I'd really like you to take my battlescarred word for it that the most reasonable thing is for us to be able to limit the discussions in both scope and time. Historically the fallout from overtalking has tended to be more significant than the actual issue under debate.
COMM could be its own category and put at the top. Or just under Beep Me and Press.

I don't believe this ever happened. We don't tend toward silence. You may have noticed. I am quite confident that I could post "Green peas are yummy" in Natter and there'd wind up being a debate.
Both things
That's what I said!

And by must-read, I mean, it's like...it's like...it's like the Vanity Fair Hollywood issue. You're not legally compelled to read it or anything, but everybody does. It's the happy, peaceful, no-stress, no-natter, spit-coffee-on-your-monitor it's so funny thread! It says so in the title!
Bob likes green peas....
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?
With you all the way, Wolfie
That's what I said!

That was definitely a decision made, under the system then being used. We discussed. Several people who were originally in favor changed their minds (me included). There were quite a few "no, we shouldn't" posts. Once the discussion moved on, no one said, "wait, we shouldn't stop discussing that, you guys didn't think of this reason why we should do it..."
