Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!  

We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I didn't. I thought he was just awkward and overly enthusiastic. This has really thrown me by pointing out how very bad my ability to gauge people is.

This.

Also: hello! (Imagine this in an Adele voice?) It is I, the Ghost of Buffistas Past, or something. You may remember me from such posts as "I'm wearing a rubber glove on my head RIGHT NOW AIFG." Or...well, or not, because I have been gone a hella long time and my online community-ing these days is pretty much just Facebook. But I've been following this these past few days & wanted to delurk, becauseall this fuckery makes me sad and heartsick, and I wanted to say here on the board, and not just on FB, that I support you in email, type of thing.

I had been in the way of thinking of Sunil as needy and socially awkward in a vaguely-on-the-spectrum way, and I was mentally handwaving tiresome/grating/disingenuous/self-important stuff and assuming the best - but now i feel like he's needy and socially awkward in a vaguely-on-the-spectrum way WHILST ALSO TRYING TO BE MORIARTY. Which just leaves me flailing in bafflement.

...I just...life is too short for such corrosive Slytherin bullshit. I am deeply sorry if I ever enabled that. I am angry this shit went down, and evidently hurt a lot of people.

Also, I love you guys.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Fay, the Delurking thread IS open...

t edit Not that this post is inappropriate here! Because it's totally appropriate. I just mean if you want to post in Delurking and see who's there and tell us about your adventures.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Our wings are not tired.

I think Jon and DX know how to set up the vote thing. Above my skill set. But I can send an admin email asking that it happen tonight.

Jon's on top of it.
