Yes, Cindy, I made the proposal very simple so that it wouldnt be too nitty to reshape it as discussion goes on. I hope. Please. For the love of Minear. ahhhh ha ha

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!

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

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Also, repeated questions from upstream, will this be a NAFDA thread, and how will we treat spoilers?
Just a note, I think ANY show related thread shere are inherently NAFDA.

I appreciate that. And trawling for chocolate aside, I'm in favor of a Tim-works thread. I was just trying to steer the discussion back to the thread you've actually proposed. It seems to me that the requests for an alum thread don't fit in this discussion, as that not what you proposed, and it's not what people seconded.

That's how I feel too, but you never can tell with Bees.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
that was on WX before we had the thread proliferation issues.
Just to clarify, it was before we had technical thread-proliferation issues. But there have always been philosophical proliferation issues for a lot of people -- including me, even though I'm in favor of this one.

Our wings are not tired.
Why not Jane Espenson or David Greenwalt or David Fury or Ultimate Drew or even Joss Whedon? Or for that matter, why not Eliza Dushku or Seth Green?
I do set Tim and Joss apart from every other writer or actor ever involved with ME. Just my view.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I think I'd rather see an ME-alum thread, just because I think a thread with a wider topic is more likely to sustain a lively conversation. That said, I don't have enough of an objection to a thread devoted just to Tim's work to vote against it.
I do like Victor's idea for a thread title, though.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Me too. Joss because he created the Buffyverse, and Tim because he's not just a VIP who posts here sometimes, he's a Buffista. He's one of us.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Dropping in my two cents for a works-o'da-Minear kind--for reasons already stated far better than I ever could.

If I only had a brain...
I like Tim a lot; he's been cool and funny and kind here.
Having a Minear thread for Tim-the-person is just a bit more fannish than I'm comfortable with. I'm happy with a "works of Tim" thread, though. It's the difference between "Mr. Smith, you are a GOD!" and "Mr. Smith, Dogma was a remarkably funny look at theology."

Yes, this.
