And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What about those of us who hold our forks with the left AND don't love the prolif? Huh? YOU'RE OPPRESSING ME!!

Pipe down, peasant!

I'm agreeing with Sean and Jessica. I think telling people they can't talk about why they disagree is just unworkable.

I'm also with Sophia in that I remember the convo (endless!) to get the voting process in place.

The one idea that spoke to me was msbelle's about a thread creation window. Create two windows a year and make whatever threads want to be made at that time, but only during those times.

Hey Sean - if your going to tell me that you refuse to deny my rights then SCREW YOU!!!

But don't let me tell you to cram it.

I like the idea, but a sick part of me wants to find a way to turn it into a quickfire challenge.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Each time a new thread is proposed the argument of left handed vs. right handed forks escalates until someone's feelings get hurt. Is there any way to avoid this?

My favorite thing about b.org is how well everybody gets along. I hate it when that breaks down and I'm wishing there was a way to avoid it.
