It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

And I say is M/S/A wants to come back, he should make an appeal to the Stompies, and ask them bring it to the board at a time of their choosing, if they so desire.

Also, this. There is no need for a big kerfuffle. I think we shouldn't post about this any more until we hear from one of the stompies.

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

Why is Lightbulb open? I don't think it should be, since we can't discuss a proposal that's not been posted in there. I'm going to shut it again until Allyson's ready to word her proposal and start the discussion off with that. To obviate the "as I understand it" ness that would likely happen.

As for mieskie, my understanding is that he is banned for violating terms of suspension, and any revisiting of that needs to take that into account.

Thank you for answering me, Wolfram, but I'm with justkim-- and quite possibly with Jesse. He's banned, end of argument.

Okay.

Lightbulb was open by mistake?

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

I had opened it because Allyson made a proposal, it received the necessary seconds, and it needed to be unlocked for her to post the proposal. I didn't think it we'd get this big of a delay in her posting the proposal.

Should we delete our posts there and repost after the proposal?

Allyson's probably on her way in to work, or actually working, or something.

My understanding was that he volunteered to leave, period, so as to avoid more unpleasantness.

This was also my understanding.
