I like the "Like Dostoevsky, only with whimsy" suggested at the beginning of the discussion. I like the continuity, and I like the juxtaposition and the dichotomy. I'm just funny like that. I will, however, bow to the will of the majority. As long as it doesn't contain the word monkey. Primate I'll go for, but monkey is so last year.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

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.

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

I can't even.
Lurkers. Lurkers. Lurkers.
Not anywhere like old for me yet.
And they do, but I don't abuse their trust with grandstanding.

I was getting freaked out by the overt discussion of repro too, especially since we know that journalists sometimes use that thread as a source.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
David, don't have it narrowed down at least for a run off?
The top three are clearly: Sode, Lurkers and Solution.
After that there's no consensus. I think we'll need a vote if somebody wants to set up a Mr. Poll.

Voting results posted. No politics thread, but enough of a desire that some accommodation for political discussion seems reasonable.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Thanks, Sean!
See, I like the consensus, but I also like the clarity that voting brings.

but enough of a desire that some accomodation for political discussion seems reasonable.
This was never up for a vote though. It wasn't like Politics Thread or no politcal talk at all. I don't think we need any accomodation other than what is normal around here.

I was trying to thread-nanny people who might be inclined to thread-nanny political talk.
My ploy was perhaps less than subtle.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
