Yeah. Or if it's detoured into Nixon/Kissinger slash.
Don't we have a policy of no real person slash, 'cause that would take of it, right?

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'd imagine we could walk the line between "Henry Kissinger is a war criminal" and " YOU are a war criminal".

Hmmm. If Henry Kissinger himself starts posting on these boards, that could leave us in a quandary.
Getting back to the original suggestion, how much support is currently there for a separate Politics thread? For my part, I wouldn't treat a separate thread much differently from such a discussion in an existing thread, so I wouldn't see much personal advantage. (Plus, TBH, from experience on other boards I am a little leery of a separate politics section.)

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Well most of the people who would participate in the poltics thread are happy to discuss politics in Natter. Many of the people who are happy to discuss politics in natter would not participate if they were in a seperate thread. So it seems that there is no real advantage in having a seperate thread. ...
I knoiw it was my idea - but there are only about three people who want to talk politics in a politics thread who see any advantage over natter.

When there *is* a new thread added, what's the policy on letting people know about it? I know it'll be announced in Press, but I also kind of like the idea of automatically subscribing everybody to it, and then the first time they see it they can unsub if they... wait, sorry, this isn't TT, we don't have unsub buttons in the thread itself. Carry on.
