TCBITW was used just today! And I think jengod should stay in famous citizens.
I did think of that as I was cutting and pasting.
Damn. Ok. Well that's frustrating.
There's no reason not to proceed with that schedule anyway. We've had schedules before without voting on them. It's not like the proposal would have had any teeth that you now can't access.
Jon, I know. It's not that so much as wishing more people were invested enough in F2F in general. It makes me wonder if enough people are interested to continue the tradition.
I've also had a hellish couple of months between Drew's illness and then having to catch up at work, so I'm not in the best place emotionally right now. I'm taking it personally, which I know is ridiculous.
I feel I must warn that my cuts are radical. I find much of it completely irrelevant at this point.
Just like you do with clutter! And wardrobes!
Dudes, if we've established a voting period, we established a voting period. This is why we need a cheesebutt document posted.
There's no point having a quorum if you just leave the vote open until you get it.
I entirely agree. We have a quorum established for a reason. If this vote didn't get it, maybe it's not something we should establish. It certainly didn't get a lot of discussion either. Since we can talk anything to death, maybe this isn't a rule we should try to put in place forever.
I think doing that is a much better precedent than to start bending the rules all willy nilly.
Or, this.
Do I get bonus points for using precedent and willy nilly in the same sentence?
