Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Ten people could back channel right now and decide to warn somebody for nothing at all. It could be Z and nine personalities.

This was mentioned in the voting thread, and it was pretty much agreed that something like this would be obvious and it would be invalid.

Our wings are not tired.

Shouldn't this discussion be in Light Bulbs, since it directly concerns msbelle's proposal?

That was my understanding.

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

Ten people could just take a dislike to someone and do the same. Did X violate community standards or did X annoy ten pals?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I'm getting off for a bit, but will be back on before the discussion in lightbulb closes at midnight.

Jon, if you are around, I will post my final language in that thread.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Wolfram easily annoyed ten people with what turned out to be a style (as opposed to his intent) that didn't didn't bother a bunch of others.

But nobody suggested that official action be taken against him. Not one person.

But annoyed to the point that they would second a warning? I know that I was annoyed, and I expressed my annoyance, but it wasn't anywhere near that point. Not by a long shot.

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

Wolfram easily annoyed ten people with what turned out to be a style (as opposed to his intent) that didn't didn't bother a bunch of others.

But no one asked that he be warned. Maybe I'm Polyanna, but I have a tough time believing that ten of us could all be that immature at the same time. I prefer to assume that we'll act like adults.

Dudes, are we discussing this here or in Lightbulb?
