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.

But you know what? I bet if it came down to naming names, very few people would agree on who are the posters doing that.
Rafmun has named Plei and Steph and made no other examples. AFAICT, his entire complaint is about the DM thing and I find vaguing up the complaint to accuse people offensive and really uncongenial to the spirit of this board and this thread. I am angry on their behalf. The following is why I think that:
Maybe I just think that it would be good to recognize when compromise is made from one quarter that sometime in the future harmony and balance might require compromise to be made from another quarter.
To those who get their way most of the time - back off on things that aren't critical to you. Let people with soft-voices have their way sometimes. When someone is doing something positive for the board, don't get all grumpy about a few extra posts in a thread. Be bigger than that.
I know other people have posted that there is not enough congeniality. But, correct me if I'm wrong, have we bullshit consensed on whether it's even possible to have a cabal enforcing their will on everyone?

We have not. I don't really think it's possible, myself.
Because the board's too big, with too many little subcommunities forming and breaking and shifting around. Absent having someone commit vote fraud, I don't think it can be done.
What if we put the monkeys in charge?
Oh, Wolfram? I wanted to say that I'm very happy you stuck around.
I miss Dr. Satan.
Me three. And Knut, and John H., and Jen K. and Cindy and Rio and Theresa and...folks.

Remember you said that when his nefarious plan comes to fruition and you're taking your orders from a screeching bare-arsed baboon.
Sometimes I even miss Hellish.
... no, really! Just to have someone say, "Dawn must die!"
Thanks Consuela (and Dana upthread.) I couldn't leave if I tried.
note to self: BT knows too much
