No not at all. I don't think we're dedicated to the discussion of any particular thing. I think the whole thing needs rewording. But that doesn't really belong in this discussion,, and should be saved for one of our semi-annual "who we are, where we're going" navel-gazes.

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

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
It seems that at least part of the angst is being caused by the fact that closing the topic/not opening a new thread has been proposed with less than 100 posts to go.
It was suggested yonks ago (possibly as far back as January?) but never brought to a vote because there were always other issues that were more pressing. I just asked the question again when the post number was mentioned.
I do see a cultural split in that opinion between those of us that came over from TT and those who came to Buffistas during Firefly.
Is this where I mention that I found Buffistas because of Firefly?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It's one of my subscriptions, and I read every post within short order of it appearing. So any divide has to have me on both sides.
Me, too. Hence trhe being troubled. I would really love it if someone told me that that perception was wrong.
FWIW, I came in the same time and the same way Wolfram did, goold old TV Guid channel's misinformation. And I don't feel like Firefly has the same special status that Buffy does. So I can't attach much importance to that particular cultural divide.

By the way, how many years has Buffistas been in existence?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It seems much longer. I think I conflate Buffista memories with Bronze ones.

Yeah, I know. I could have sworn we were here for the 9/11 conversation.

Okay, so is that the Phoenix anniversary, or Buffista anniversary?
