hayden seconded it before msbelle proposed it! Robert would be rolling over. I also second. Do we need one more?
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Another social casualty...
She was quoting Matt's most recent re-cap:
BIG DAMN BAD: My love will follow you wherever you go, Fred. And by "love," I mean "vengeful zealots."

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I'd like to believe that. But why "vengeful," then?
I'll believe it when she answers Steph's request for clarification.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Er, I'm feeling foolish: I thought we didn't vote on matters relating to Stmpy procedure? Which was why I didn't word the original sketch as a proposal in the first place.
But if we do vote, and msbelle's proposal is legit, then I'll be a second second.
(I would like to amend the Laura-Nutty Warning Boilerplate Language at some later date, but I'll save that for Light Bulb.)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Kat, I went and read the rest of the PF posts, and am no clearer than when I began -- it all looks like stream of consciousness gibberish to me. Maybe someone should politely point out that the Angel thread isn't her blog, even when PF isn't being used? I really don't know.
Anyway.
I still think Nutty's system is pretty much the ideal one. I'm against backchannel for this.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
hayden, my sweet. No one answered me about where we are, as a community, on taking voting proposals.
You seconded me before I typed up an official proposal. Of coursse, I t heart you for it.
Kat, I'd say no. I'll go re-word if it is a confusing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think that how we decide when someone gets a warning/suspension/ban is CLEARLY something that needs a formal discussion and vote. It's not like how we decide when there's a spoiler that needs to be whited out, or how we decide what to name a new thread.
Speaking of which, did we come to some agreement on Bureaucracy 2?

Yep. Sadly, true.
But is spamming stream of consciousness gibberish not trolling?

I'll be a third (or fourth?) second to msbelle's proposal. I don't think we're going to nail this down any other way.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
But is spamming stream of consciousness gibberish not trolling?
True. She has a Web site, where she can have a blog for that. Hell, I'll gladly give her my one and only LJ code so she can have an LJ for that.
