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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Betsy is wise. Please. Time enough when we have an actual request.

I appreciated reading the note. Standing in the no response required corner.
And again, Laura is my Bureaucracy doppelganger.
I suggest we abandon this until the issue is actually raised.
And agreeing with Betsy.

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

Or, if you want to give back some of what you've been getting and drive the family's average blood pressure up over 300, there's always the opting to travel cross-country for an indecent proprosal from a gay redneck rather than attend the family Christmas. I think it wouldn't be too difficult to find a volunteer.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I vote that Trudy is fired.
ETA: That's supposed to be cute ribbing, and love stuff.

I vote to give Trudy a raise, because we needed some fun in this thread, and she brought it in.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I hope that this isn't too memememe for this discussion but I have intimate knowledge of dealing with schizophrenics and believe me when I say that "stable and on meds" does NOT equal "behaves like a perfectly normal person".
My brother has been "stable and on meds" for nearly five years and he still exhibits bizarre behavior that I would not for the world inflict on people in spite of the fact that I know he isn't responsible for a lot of that behavior. Also, the last 13 years have been a roller coaster of lapsing on medication and into and out of psychotic episodes.
As much as I am glad that Zoe is getting the medical attention that she needs, I fully understand that people would be highly uncomfortable with her hypothetical reinstatement based on her medical situation.
That the banning issue sticks in some folks throats can be addressed within the community and may have nothing to do with this as I do not see Zoe asking for reinstatement in her apology.
I will however, say that out here in the real world, my brother has been subjected to harsh community standards because of his behavior--so much so that he spent two years in prison for it--ill or not. So I think I have a fair view of both sides of this situation. But I would not, for any price uneccessarily expose myself to the dramatics and emotional bloodletting that goes alone with dealing with a schizophrenic if I didn't have to as a member of a family with schizophrenia or a caregiver.

I'm not sure how important this is -- a could-be-considered spoilery article has been posted in Angel.

Thanks Matt. I should have done that.
