Buffistas

Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Thanks for all the fish.

Don't know, Kristen. Wasn't watching the show. But we were on TT, not our 'own' playground like WX or here. I don't know what, if any, policies were agreed upon at TT, or what we would have done had we been on our own.

I do know that there wouldn't have been a Bureaucracy thread on TT at that point, and I'm not entirely sure that there were even 'Buffistas' then.

Thanks for all the fish.

It never felt so good, it never felt so right.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

What happened waaaaaay back in the day with DB getting sent to hell?

In regards to him dying or him coming back?

I didn't know about either until they happened and I was reading the boards (except spoilers) vigorously.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night

Thanks for all the fish.

I've made a desperate plea for compromise that I think solves nearly everything with a minimum of pain... I'll link here so people can skip the entire conversation to that point if they want.

OK - I don't think the grandfathering vote is being interpeted right. I seriously doubt that most people voting for it thought they were grandfathering in the entire FAQ.

The grandfathering thing was to avoid revotes on stuff that had been debated. I don't think the definition of spoiler was ever debated. No it was not snuck it; it kind of grew. But there was never the kind of debate that rejected say the politics theread. I think if there was no debate, no sense we were setting a permanent policy then it is not grandfathered in.

And I would point out that voter intent should count for quite in bit in interepeting stuff like the grandfather clause. Because in spite of having lawyers on our board, we did not draft things in legal language. So taking narrow interpetations of language over original intent when it can be determined is going to lead to a lot of ill feeling. How do we determine original intent? Simple. Ask people who voted on the Grandfathering issue whether they though they were voting to grandfather (or not) the entire FAQ and etiquette.
