If something came up that I wanted off the table, seconding it is a good way to get it closer to a moratorium.
Yeah, and also, I'd rather see the processing in the Light Bulb thread than in here.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

And see if I didn't want a proposal to pass or be discussed I wouldn't comment on it at all. I would hope it would just die.

msbelle is like me. I'm glad to see that ita, DX, & Jesse & others have more faith in the process than I do. Especially right now, when I am being lax in my Buffista civic mindedness.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Hello, Bureau-thinkers. I am in search of a commune to consense with me. We will chant OM and all agree on the following consensuary procedure-details. Which are not tort related in any way:
(1) I think it's a great idea that the proposer of a proposal be allowed to withdraw it before the voting period begins, for any reason and without censure or tongue-waggling. (Unless the proposer prefers we waggle our tongues at him.) If the proposer, I don't know, breaks a leg and gets stuck in a hospital with no internet access, or even just changes his mind, there should be the option for the proposer to hand-off advocacy duties to someone else (and stick to the original time-frame).
(2) Said proposal, never having been voted down, should not fall under the moratorium for voted-down things.
Please let us consense about them, because then I will be happy and able to put them into my little Buffista Law document.
That is all. Off to find cake to satisfy sudden craving.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Consensing.

joining Nutty love - also saying yes (I don't like that other word).

I'm willing to liaise with the group of people who don't like "consense," if we feel that's needed.
