I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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?

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

The discussions on PF have been moved, all hail Lance, we're back in the driver's seat.

It was actually kind of quiet there today.

Hail, Lance!
