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!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I get that, Matt, I really do. But if no one in the group is saying the former, there comes a point where someone outside the group has to say the latter, and there's no way to say it that won't offend someone, no matter how you frame it.
This. Looking back I don't know how I could have framed the fundamental question where it wouldn't have blown up.
It COULD have been framed better, I will totally cop to that. I would especially like to note that my "I'm just about ready to propose a thread" was completely out of line, and wasn't even completely accurate re my feelings towards the SPN discussion. It was framed as an ultimatum or a threat, and my intention wasn't to draw lines in the sand or something.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

But unless we settle this, this conversation is certain to happen again, and if people give in just for peace without settling anything, this isn't going to be a good thing.

Yes, but I don't know that there's ever going to be a "settled" for what is obviously disparate opinions on What We Should Do About Television. It's going to be different for every show, every time it comes up.

This. Because creating the VM thread didn't get this kind of discussion. Nor did Lost, unless I'm misremembering.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Decent analogy, but no one was asked to quiet down. I feel I need to make that point, lest someone feel again that their squeeing was a bad thing.
Well, we were asked to put in jump tags so that people didn't have to hear us.

Are any of the media-fannish SPNers spoiler averse? Spoilers in this case meaning references to aired content; SPN or otherwise, not future speculative or casting spoilers?

I'll go wherever the SPN discussion goes, and also stay in Boxed Set because I'm a ginormous fannish crackwhore. I'm not upset by any of this except for the part where other people are upset, if that makes sense.
I have sensed some exasperation for a while now whenever we get all Supernatural Likes Carrots.

What is even happening?

This is how I feel. I wish there was an undo button.
