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!
You know, I do believe I do the same thing with "handkerchief". I left off the D in a 5th grade spelling bee. Never get that wrong again.
Point taken on the thing, Cindy. Just enthusiastic that we can get back on our little dirt path towards Enlightenment.
Sophia, since you're short on time, I'd say go ahead and word the ballot however you want it, and Jon can make up the form based on that.
Jon, I had stated my reasons before. My reasons haven't changed.
Well, I'd forgotten them. I'm sorry. No need for the asscaps. Reference an old post or something.
Because if an act will offend people, it's better not to do it.
And, theoretically speaking, if it offends an equal number of people not to do it? What then?
Don't bother answering that. I already said I liked Cindy's ballot (though I'm still not sure what we'll do with the results of the second question).
Um, sure, why not. I think that's a viable option. It can be pretty well instantaneous as soon as thre results come in, if it's necesary, because we've seen what trying to argue about the virtues of integers did to this thread!!
Whatever you think is simplest/works best, Sophia.
I have about ten minutes to spend here, but it seems like we can't do anything until Jon makes a new ballot.
Oh, yeah, that. I don't think I can do it while at work. Certainly not before noon. Can we close discussion at noon but not start the voting until this evening?
I don't think I can get a proposal together before 3 pm, so....
sophia is the wordiest. I can't wait to see her ballot.
i think lowercaps italics are the best approximation of anti-caps. hear me now and believe me later.
Well, I'd forgotten them. I'm sorry. No need for the asscaps. Reference an old post or something.
Eh, Kat speaks for me, basically. And the ass caps were simply my I'M TYPING IN THE DARK AND FUCKING UP QUICK EDIT notation for BOLD, which I did mention. (my keyboard tray is half under my desk, and at night, typing with the lights out means guessing where my fingers are and retyping half of what I say, because gakd (half) the time I'm typing and not looking at what I'm doing and realize my fingers are on the wrong keys at the last minute.)
Yay!
There is consensus.
