Anne, I did that too, for reasons that now escape me... made me nauseous. I really don't know what to do about this proposal. On the one hand, I don't want some things to change: the way the stompies work, the name of the board, the warn, warn, ban system...the "who we are" stuff... but on the other hand, I don't really want to go figure out what was decided by consensus that's, imo, more lightweight, like the war thread. I'm wondering if this is premature to the "who we are" conversation. If we knew that, then the other stuff could be separated out from the immutable stuff.
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

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!

I like this, Nutty. Our constitution should stand, unless there's a goddamned good reason to change it, and that change should be so freakin' hard that it would take almost a completely new Buffista Community based on Whale Watching and the study of Aramaic texts to have evolved to affect such change.
This is why ammendments to the Constitution (that is, the US Constitution) were made so frelling hard to pass - the writer's thought they'd done a good job and didn't wan't anybody mucking it up in the future. Bureaucracy as a weapon! Prohibition still got through somehow - go figure.

If that made sense.
It makes sense, certainly in the abstract, and/or big picture-wise. I'm not sure I know how to define 'our constitution'. I'm also not sure how we go about doing anything about it. Ideas?
Does this part of the conversation belong in bureaucracy? If so, please tell me and I'll move it, or move it and I'll be fine with that.

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
Is grandpappy still on the table for voting? I'm unsure whether we're still discussing, or if Minear Thread is dead, or what's going on.

Our wings are not tired.
I think so, people just ran out of things to say about it. And you would have thought that was impossible.
Minear Thread is absolutely not dead!

Minear should be next.

Is the Minear thread for just his show? Because it's not going to be on tv 'til mid-season? Or is it a mostly Minear but Mutant Enemy alum show thread?

sumi - that's the second time I've seen someone post that, but I haven't seen anything official. Where did you hear that it was a mid-season start?

It's on the Zap2it article about the new season as a midseason replacement on Fox.

All Minear, all the time. I expect Tim will have his manly fists in various and sundry things while this board lives.
