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!
I'm glad you posted that Strix. It's a valuable perspective. And I'm just glad to hear how you are doing, incidentally.
I agree 100%.
And after a quick fall into the Twitter rabbit-hole, I am even more shocked and outraged. Nope, nope, nope. He just has to go.
I have no idea how to follow threads/conversations on Twitter. None. So I've read things here and there, but not much because I don't know how.
Suffice it to say that there are many women reporting abuse, gaslighting,manipulation, and have been through it multiple times with it always culminating in a mea culpa (as it has this time). Enough already. Dude needs some serious consequences - maybe it'll actually turn out to be helpful to him. Either way, I know it'll be helpful for the women in our community.
Thank you, Strix. I know that wasn't easy and I both understand and agree.
But being genuinely sorry doesn't mean shit in this kind of situation; demonstrating, over and over and over again, that you are no longer a toxic person is the only thing that really matters.
This. THIS. THIS. Thank you, Strix.
I've been hesitant to say anything on this since I am not here enough to feel like I should have much of a vote, but I support the stompy ban, and hate that this whole thing has happened.
Strix and Trudy laying down some wisdom.
(I feel better about posting; thank you for your kindnesses.)
