I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Have a private poll then, and just invite the 52 people whose opinions matter.
Good luck getting anyone here to agree "whose opinions matter". Believe me, we're not organized enough to have a cabal.

Not meaning to accuse unnamed parties.
And yet, intentionally or not, that's what you did. I also think you accused them of doing something they haven't done. Dramatic? No. But I do disagree with your interpretation, and I do intend to point that out.
And, again, the numbers aren't going to distinguish between who is a lurker and who isn't, so I really don't see an issue.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Fair enough and I'm sorry for misinterpreting you, Denise.
Why have an open poll if you're saying one group of potential voters are more important than the other.
Yeah, that was what I was saying. I am prejudiced against people who don't post or don't care changing the board for me. I've gone through a hell of a lot of effort today trying to persuade people to my point of view and, I'd be annoyed if two people saw Allyson's book today and came by and voted, "more threads? Why not?!"

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 thought we were supposed to blame Nilly for everything?
Me = anti-proliferation, don't think lurkers get a say until we get advertisers and they get nielsen boxes for our board, and cilantro grows out of satan's anus.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well, lurkers do get a say -- any registered person can vote, when we vote. And lurkers do vote. Not in huge numbers, but I think that's fine. I lurk elsewhere, too, and I probably wouldn't vote there, if there were voting there. Because I'm not part of the community. And that's fine, too.

But I do disagree with your interpretation, and I do intend to point that out.
Of course. I wouldn't expect anyone not to if they disagreed with me.
Fair enough and I'm sorry for misinterpreting you, Denise.
No big deal. It's easy to take things more personally than they were intended in the heat of all of this, I think. All's good as far as I'm concerned.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In my book, voting is delurking.
Yes, people who registered yesterday have the same voting power as I do. Kinda annoying, but there's no fix for it that doesn't fuck up more than it addresses.
