Okay, thanks.
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

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!

Make it 62. I just want him off the board one way or another. As he hurt even one of us, he hurt all of us.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
My heart is broken. Sunil is an unofficial member of my RL family. But I cannot ignore the voices of those he has hurt. I support the BS consensus.

The revised proposal is here: Dana "Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!" Oct 16, 2016 11:09:08 am PDT
If I remember correctly, and it's three days of discussion, that would mean starting the vote on the 18th.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry, Laga. This isn't easy for a lot us us. It brought out my mama bear instincts though. My cubs have been hurt.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
I am shocked. I'm sorry that anyone felt uncomfortable and I'm grateful to Jessica for sharing her experience. I support the members of the board who have been hurt and whatever needs to be done to make the board a safe place. Thank you Dana for speaking up.
That's all that I've got because I'm still processing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Right, banning is not a voting issue, but I feel like bypassing our stated procedure should be.
That seems reasonable to me.

I've been messaging a bit in Twitter messages with one of the people who's speaking out against Sunil there. I only told her about things that I'd personally seen -- anything that happened to someone else, that's their story to tell -- but I just wanted her to know that she wasn't alone, and that there's history here, and that people have been seeing this since college. I didn't mention Buffistas by name.

I am in favor of doing this formally, of voting for taking swift action in the face of egregious behavior. Every clear, official process that we take on this gives it more weight. No one can say "Oh, a bunch of people got together over the weekend and banned me from their silly board."

One site, The Book Smugglers, [link] has removed his work for sale and stopped work with him on future publications. So the severity within the SFF community is wide.
