getting. too. bogged. down. in. bureaucracy.

I think we should put a limit on how long we wait for the Grandpappy proposal, say until Sunday

I'm leaving for vacation for four days starting Sunday. Does this mean this vote would take place in that time? Because it's one issue I feel I would like to vote on.

As for the other thread issue, I'm not especially concerned over missing a vote. I'll entrust myself to the will of the buffistas.

wrod.

She may be waiting for Nutty or someone to post what were, exactly, the decisions made prior to voting so that we'd know what was being grandfathered. I believe that was supposed to happen this week.

Allyson, I was just thinking about this myself.

First let me say I'm really sorry. I was something of an ass with my obsitinance that we should finish previous business before we brought up the Minear thread.

But seeing as how the previous business is being delayed for various reasons, I say we should go ahead start in on Tim's thread.

If we're not ready to move forward on the business we're waiting on, I don't see any reason why we shouldn't move forward on business that's ready to go.

I don't know about anybody else, but I say Allyson posts her thread proposal and we open up lightbulb ASAP.

From the time of the official proposal, the process takes a week, so you would miss some of the discussion and some of the voting period, but not all of either.

Proposal: To add a new thread dedicated to the works of Tim Minear. The purpose of the thread will be to discuss past, present, and future series and episodes, and also to honor one of our own. Suggestions for thread title can be discussed in Bureaucracy if the proposed thread passes.

Seconded.

Allyson, is that in general (and I agree) or in response to my suggestion? If you think my suggestion would make us even more bogged, let's take it off the table. It was proposed in order to de-bog, not bog us down further.

If we're not ready to move forward on the business we're waiting on, I don't see any reason why we shouldn't move forward on business that's ready to go.

Sean, thank you. I was thinking about something during your points last week, but didn't want to single you out, because you've been the least boggiest of anyone I can think of. I was thinking about how we're taking this voting thing too seriously.

Personally? I'm trying to remember, the spirit of this whole voting idea, was just to more accurately count who likes/dislikes what, and to make sure people were notified that a decision on issue X needed to be made. (This is personally why I voted against minimum vote totals, a higher majority, and a lot of stuff that passed, anyhow...)

I think we need to take it all less seriously, and if Allyson has an idea, is ready and has seconds, while Betsy has an idea, but is waiting for someone to list all the decisions that will fall under the grandfather clause, then Allyson (or anyone) ought to be able to go ahead with something that's already ready. Prior to voting, we've historically discussed more than one thing at a time in bureaucracy, and I hate to see a procedure make us nuts.

Seconding Allyson's proposal.
