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!

Punishingly Intricate

Consensus works for me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm shocked and saddened to learn that P-C has caused this kind of trouble for so many people I support a consensus decision.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Consensus also works for me- I re-read and Banning isn't voting issue. He has done enough on the actual board over years - he has been warned in thread-- he has been warned off thread, and we see the pattern continue. Even though we are small right now, I do not want the Buffistas used as a grooming place, or the Buffistas name and connection used to gain positive support in other places.

Consensus sounds right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Agreed re: consensus. I'd ask that we wait until tomorrow night to take action, just in case there are people who are off-line for the weekend who would want to weigh in.

aurelia, I know you've said you don't need more info, but this twitter thread is pretty specific, if you haven't seen it. (You probably have to scroll up and down.) [link]

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Maybe give a time period for discussion and then consensus. It's a weekend and I think some people may not know the discussion is going down. I think some people not normally inclined to do so might weigh in if they knew they had 48 (or whatever) hours In which to act.

I had my concensus concerns/doubts along with DX and they have changed along with him as well. I'd like to see a concensus as thorough as possible, however.

I'm with the bs concensus.

I think this is a good idea.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I believe consensus is appropriate.

He's hurt the board. He's been educated several times over more than a decade and he hasn't changed for the better. Personally, I avoid all contact with him and don't like to be in threads where he posts. He's not the only reason I've been so gray, but he's definitely be a discouragement to being active here again.

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

I am in favor of consensus, but I do appreciate the fact that people want to give the chance for others who might be offline to weigh in, so tomorrow night is fine.
