No fucking kidding. It's my major reason for inertia.
Yeah, mine too. (BTW, have I kissed your feet for doing the deed? Or thrown knives at them?)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You know, I don't know if this would be at all useful, but I'd totally be willing to be a Stompy Foot, not because I have any skills, but because I'd be willing to draft and send out warnings and stuff like that.

I agree -- standardized wordings for official notices would be a good thing.

I agree that standardized warnings are good.
(Is this something we need to vote on?)

The exisitance of an standarised warning or the wording of it?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The exisitance of an standarised warning or the wording of it?
Neither, I hope.

Both, unfortunately, but probably as one vote (e.g., yes or no to a specific wording).
I'm not sure, because it seems like it might be the sort of thing we agreed not to vote on (I think we said we wouldn't vote on disciplining posters or Stompy duties). But I wanted to raise the point before someone started talking about a bullshit consensus.

Fair enough, but I think

you're right here. I understand raising the point, but I think this is one of those things we don't vote on.

Our wings are not tired.
I don't think it is a voting issue. Comfort levels would improve if we had some standard wording. This has only happened a couple times, but it has been very painful. Yeah, we like to talk, but I personally think a more streamlined process would be less stressful. We are still going to address the problem, but if there is consensus that a problem exists then having a standard response is good.
I could have said that with a lot fewer words. Coffee now.

removed because I was drafting something people weren't talking about - sorry for the confusion
