Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

But you want to bring up the war thread again as a separate thing even though it's been voted down and we've been talking about the war in Natter.

Right askye. And the old system wasn't subject to the moratorium, and (arguing in the alternative) even if it was subject to the moratorium the fact that we're now at war creates a significant change in circumstance to bear a board wide discussion and vote on the issue of a separate thread. And it's gotten four seconds. That's it in a nutshell.

Nobody

Can someone (Deena maybe?) Nilly the points in the discussion (some might be at WXing), where we said votes were for things going forward?

If I only had a brain...

Can somebody Nilly to the place where somebody asked "Does this mean we're reconsidering all the old pre-vote decisions?" and the answer was "no"?

[Great minds, Cindy!]

Thrive to spite them

If there's a place to discuss the war (Natter) then why create another?

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

And the old system wasn't subject to the moratorium

Right, but we are discussing grandfathering moratoriums over for recent decisions arrived at under consensus. That's a procedural and transitional issue that probably needs to be addressed, and would (possibly) resolve the war thread vote or any other revisiting vote issues.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Cindy. I can't. I have a good memory for black words on white. I can see the post, but I don't know how to nilly without the search function.

If you want, I can go back through bureacracy and find it... which should delay things until sometime next week. *g*.

I think it was even Victor who said it first, if that's any help to anyone who can find it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You can threadsuck and then control-F to search, FYI.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I think it was over on WX. I can go try and look.
