Sorry ita, I thought the proposal was supposed to be posted in Light Bulbs before we could discuss it. Since that is not the case, never mind my silly question.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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.

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)

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

But it has been -- that's certainly the way I thought it should work.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Perkins, I had the same thing--couldn't get to Buffistas at all for a few minutes.
I've got tons of thoughts on the Zoe thing, but if I get going on them now, I won't make any progress on my novel today. If it's still being discussed in a day or two, I'll weigh in. All I'll say for now is I'm definitely at the end of my personal tether where she's concerned, but hate the idea of suspending someone without a really clear smoking gun, because I don't like the precedent it would set. So color me conflicted.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I consider those cruel, hateful, vile things to do, and I agree they should ellicit a warning, whoever has posted them.
Standing. Right. Here.
I am the person who posted it. What's with the indirect communication? You want there should be a warning, to me?

Now it has, but before (when I posted earlier) the last thing in there was from 3/27 - I hit refresh but it still didn't come up.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I like it (Duh.)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

This, or "No Exit" gets my vote.

I like "Like Sartre, Only Longer." Parallelism amuses me.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
Just a suggestion: We have a proposal before the board in Lightbulb. Why don't we all step away from the Zoe discussion until that point is settled. Once we have a procedure in place, those who feel like she needs a formal warning can come back to Bureaucracy and try to muster the "X" number of votes if they so desire.
I'm NOT trying to censor anyone or stop the flow of discussion/ideas or the expression of opinions. Feel free to take or ignore this situation as you wish. It just seems that we could all use a break from the situation. And now we have something else fun to haggle over in Lightbulb.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
I'm very possibly in the existential corner, if someone can prove to me that it exists.
