Not having had much luck with trying to explain things in the past - I'm going to take a shot at explaining Betsy's proposal to people who are still confused.

Basically it is a motion to close discussion (for a time) on issues that were settled before our current process was in place.

Voting yes closes discussion (for a time) on issues that otherwise could be brought up.

Voting no leaves things as they are - meaning they can continue to be brought up and voted on at any time if enough seconds are obtained.

Proposal: To add a new thread dedicated to the works of Tim Minear. The purpose of the thread will be to discuss past, present, and future series and episodes, and also to honor one of our own. Suggestions for thread title can be discussed in Bureaucracy if the proposed thread passes.

Hm. I thought I'd feel taller.

But apparently, double-posting.

So. Yeah. A thread.

I'm OK with it, although part of me doesn't wonder if it might be better to focus the thread in on "Touched by a Crazy Person," and work from there, so as to have consistency with the other show threads.

Like Victor, I'd prefer it be a show thread, but I'll support it either way.

Go Tim. Choose Tim.

Huh, Allyson, you look taller from here.

(going tim, choosing tim)

Choosing Tim. Tim much better than Monkey.

I feel strongly that it should be a show and/or Collected Works thread, rather than a person thread. It really bothers me, the idea that we worship the person rather than the content that person produces. Crosses that line in my brain that I don't like to cross.

Also, I wonder if it mightn't be wiser to do a Mutant Enemy Alumni Projects thread, and combine all talk of Joss movies/TV, the Drews, whatever Fury ends up doing, Jane on Gilmore Girls (and Gilmore Boy, whatever that show is called), as well as Wonder Falls. That's just a throw-out idea, because I want to suggest as many alternatives as possible before the ballot gets written.

Woo Hoo! All Minear all the time. Shiny!
