'Underneath'
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.

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?
But it has been -- that's certainly the way I thought it should work.
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.
Like Sartre, only longer
I like it (Duh.)

This, or "No Exit" gets my vote.
I like "Like Sartre, Only Longer." Parallelism amuses me.
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.
I'm very possibly in the existential corner, if someone can prove to me that it exists.
Allyson--As I said earlier, I think this was settled when you apologized, but since you said you were open for feedback, here's mine. I understand that you were angered on behalf of your friends and I understand that you want Zoe gone, but the thing is, I don't want that to be your decision. I want that to be a decision of all the interested parties, includng myself I value my personal autonomy and hate to have it infringed, even by people whose hearts are in the right place. If we are out and some jerk hassles me, I don't want my BF to step up and deck the guy. I like that he wants to protect me because he loves and values me, but it's my call. To take the choice away from me feels really disrespectful to me.

Sounds sensible to me.
The whole entire Angel thread is full of echos.
Or possibly parrots.
They're definately undead anyhows--working on the ALIVE part.
I asked Zoe to clarify, because I didn't understand what she said. She went back and edited the post to include:
add: I'd probably speak more clearly if some will remove this (metaphorical) gag - Please.
So, she seems to think she's been gagged, but she STILL will not explain things she's posted recently that folks have asked for clarification on, nor has she joined the discussion here. That says "doesn't care about the community" to me.
To me, also. For fuck's sake! Now she's making snarky comments about the warning/notice -- but let's keep bending over backwards to accomodate her.
t edit Sorry -- while I was typing this, kat p. made the suggestion to back away from the Zoe issue, and I didn't see it. Fair enough.
