All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Should the post in Press say "if you voted before XX time, vote again"?

pssst, hey Jon, would now be a good time to suggest that pr*f*r*ntial voting could have helped with all this ...

Hush now moonlit. Actually, I think it was almost, kinda, sorta decided (by default) a wee little bit, that since the person making the proposal designs the ballot, if/when a pr*f*r*ntial vote/run-off situation rears its ugly head, the proposer decides whether we'll do pr*f*r*ntial or a run-off.

As for me and my house, we will only develop yes/no ballots.

Deena - not to make you crazy, but I voted, and I think it was more than 4 hours ago, but not until after Jon posted his notice in press, so I just voted again, because I haven't received a Deena confirmation, though I have received a buffistas confirmation.

Nice sentence, huh?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I re-voted, and got both the buffistas and Deena confirmations. Go us!

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Cindy, I got both of your votes, confirmed them both, and then realized I had two, so don't worry about it -- your ballot stuffing ways were caught, missy!

Our wings are not tired.

I voted once and was confirmed by Buffistas and by Deena. I'm wearing my "I Voted" sticker AIFG!

So are we thinking about thread titles for Bitches?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

The sooner the old PF forum is closed, the better. Zoe (who is now "Zeo Ann") has gone on another thread creation rampage.

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

I have the request in to Lance -- it's on his clock now.

Oh good.

I should just unsubscribe, but the descending spiral is strangely fascinating.

I know, Victor. I think she's clearly suffering from mania or is schizophrenic. The non-logic logic of her posts has that same "making the hairs on the back of one's neck prickle" that is the hallmark of the non-lucid. When I was teaching, a clinician told us that the back-of-the-neck thing or a bad headache were a really strong sign one is dealing with actual delusions rather than made-up ones.

I still think she earned her banning, BTW--I just hope she gets some help.
