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.

Allyson, I said I thought your post to Zoe was hateful (in slightly kinder terms) the day after you posted it. And I certainly intended for you to read my most recent post. So I don't consider it indirect at all.

Since you asked:

Would I have supported a warning for you right after the original post? Yes. Would I request one for you now? No, because it's several weeks ago, you apologized, and Zoe didn't get one. Bragging about it is obnoxious, but not worth a warning, IMHO. The "subhuman" comment is, I think, borderline, and I'd like you to apologize for it.

I can't remember who came up with them but I liked-

B2: Like Kafka, only not as funny

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

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.

Sounds good to me.

Agreed.

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

to apologize for it.

But I'm not going to do that.

I'm still loving this. And yes, Like Minear, only bloodier for B3.

And may it be years before it is needed.

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

And may it be years before it is needed.

Amen!

So don't, Allyson. I'm not your mommy -- I'm not going to follow you around and make you say the magic words. My investment in this really isn't that great.
