I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer  

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Very nice, Nutty! The only thing I'd ask is that the decisions be in red, not the quotes -- I have a hard time not just reading the red parts. Yes, I could never buy used textbooks that were already heavily underlined, because it would take me three times as long to read, since I would just read the underlined parts. Possibly this is just my issue.

And, not to start trouble, but wasn't there at least one proposal that got four seconds a long time ago and then was never discussed and voted on? If so, and the original proposer still cares, I'd say they can open up the formal discussion whenever.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

The only thing I'd adjust is the statement that votes are yes/no/abstain - I think we've since decided that this will be up to the proposer to determine.

Great summation, though.

If I only had a brain...

The War Thread.

War Thread and also considering decisions made in the six months before the voting thing started final.

Great job, Nutty!

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Good job, Nutty.

Now, I have a nasty filk about voting floating around in my brain to "I'm just a bill."

I'm just a bill
Just a Buffista bill
And I'm sitting on Bureaucracy hill
Well it's a long long journey to the Lightbulb thread
Where a lot of Buffistas gonna talk 'til I feel dead
With a good ballot, I might be a law
How I hope and pray that I will
But today I am still
Just a bill

Oh. Heh.

and also considering decisions made in the six months before the voting thing started final.

OK. This seems like it can wait until/if it actually comes up, no?

Well, the reason we were thinking about voting on it was because of the War thread. Someone was supposed to make a list of all the decisions that would be affected, but I agree it can stay "on hold" for a while...

FYI, A "Zoe", with no profile information available, just posted in Natter. Nothing offensive in the post, though irrelevant, but hey, irrelevant is Natter's middle name. Anyway, worth investigating ISP by a stompy?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's Zoe Ann Finch's ISP.
