Yes/No isn't very useful. If folks have questions, they can ask about it here or in Bureaucracy.

Looks good to me.

It's the talking about it we're trying to avoid. I thought maybe an informal survey of how many people the PV really squicks might be a good idea and very easy to do.

In fact, why not put an informal survey rider on other ballots too. How many Buffistas are lefties/righties? How many Buffistas eat rice with a spoon/fork? Etc. It could make this process a little more fun.

In other words, I think it's fine.

It is lovely Jon.

I suppose that I am the one staying up and posting the link?

Oh yeah, sorry, no way I can stay up. Any West Coasters?

I am so fond of this idea. Really.

I usually vote in the first couple minutes, but since I missed 6 days of discussion I will probably be voting on day 3. I feel so out of the loop. I am so far behind I am downloading last week's Angel that I forgot about. Yikes.

I cannot describe how much I do NOT want to get back into the, "how about if we describe it this way? Does it make sense now?" I'm getting right back into the annoyed place of whenever that was before about this same stupid issue. I really don't see the value of having to have this annoying conversation AGAIN when we can just do the damned runoff.

I's cool. BTW (and this is not an explanation, just my own fevered imaginings), I've taken to imagining PV like a big ol' hall with banners around the sides, here saying stuff like "SIX ROOLZ!!" or "THREE CHEERS FOR... THREE!!". (And one saying "NO GURLS" with the 'R' backwards, but that's just because I've been reading Calvin and Hobbes.) Then everyone runs for their favourite banner, and stands under it, hootin' and hollerin' (hurling of faeces will be frowned upon, to say the least). Then some guy in an official suit and probably looking like that professor from The Paperchase walks over to the stand with the fewest people, and says something like "This stand is closed! You must all find new corners!"

Then all the other corners start cheering and trying to get all the people to come over to their corner, promising to pick them first for softball, that sort of thing, and so everyone finds a new corner. Except some people don't want to leave, 'cause there's only OTP, y'know, so they stage a sit-in and blow raspberries at everyone else.

Then the Paperchase guy goes and shuts down another corner until there are two corners left. And then they fight it out with a tug-of-war. And all the people who stayed at their original corners start doing a slow handclap or a Mexican wave.

Then we all break for Kool-Aid, while Wolfram and Gandalfe pants the professor.

God! This is exactly how I feel, Jesse.

And I have to admit, I'm not with the rest of you on PV. I don't want to do it. Period. Part of it has to do with the fact that I am aggravated and pissed because I feel like I am being ignored. I was asked about it and I said, no I don't want to do it and why. Jesse responded she didn't want to do it. Then there is a post about how" no one is against it, no one is blocking consensus, let's do it." Except, hello. I'm against. Jesse is against. Burrell said she prefered a runoff. So, I'm thinking it's not true to say no one is against it.

Well you know what. I don't want to do it. I don't trust the process right now. As I've said many times before I would prefer doing a runoff if necessary.

I'm also VERY FIRMLY AGAINST IT.

VERY FIRMLY.

So you peeps keeping track at home have another voice on the issue.

Hi.

My name is ita, and I have little interest in preferential voting.
