Someone who thinks 6 months is too long, but still thinks this unwillingness to give is more wrong, and recognizes that six is probably going to win, so doesn't understand why we're making this so difficult (not in the mathy way, in the emotional way), and who, if she were an "I told you so type person" would remind everyone this is why I thought "most votes" should beat out "majority", but I'm not so I won't.
I'm gray, but I gotta say the CRAZINESS MUST STOP! See Cindy. Cindy is an example to us all. The emotional intensity on this thread strikes me (just my little opinion) as out of proportion to the issues at hand.
The ballot looks fine AND (yes, I can agree with two different things AND be happy with them in the hopes of moving things forward) the 6 months only option is fine also. I think a run-off is a method that more people feel comfortable with. Better? I don't know, but I don't think one method is so superior as to warrant the frustration level that is apparent on this thread.
Other issues will come up that have more than a yes/no option. Establishing a method is good. Then let's be done with it.
What we cannot have is people beating an issue to death. That way lies madness, that way drives people from the discussion and eventually the board. That is the reason we are now voting and now putting a time limit on issues to be rediscussed.
