TP--

TORC just failed sooner than some. They all fail eventually. One must simply be patient. :D And why aren't you voting in the committee so we can finish up? :salmon:

If you make people vote because they have to vote because its the rules, that immidiatley takes away the right to choose. You are imposing on them, and that is not what makes a democratic system.
This isn't about making people vote Din. Of course that can't be done and it won't ever be done. This is about people receiving reminders that a vote is coming up.

To me this is like what happens (at least in America) whenever a vote comes up. We all get flyers in the mail, see commercials on TV, or signs on the road telling us to vote for a certain candidate or reminders on the news to get out and vote. None of us have to vote but that doesn't mean we stop receiving the advertisements or reminders. To me that's precisely what's happening here.

I agree with it. If people don't want to read the emails (which aren't that frequent) they can delete or block them. That's why I don't support people being taken off the all emailees list unless they're someone who has most definately left the board (which they should also put "inactive" in their location and we should then subtract them from the quorum numbers).

And democratically ruled MBs are all the time in danger of falling into anarchy... ;) Out of the frying pan into the fire. :D

In this, I'll have to second TP. The "benevolent dictatorship" model works well, if the "dictator/s" doesn't lock themselves in a glass tower but keeps in close contact with the boards, and doesn't choke themselves by pulling the ropes all too tight.

Eh, whatever. Too tired to argue over it. I just hate despotism, even when it works, simply because it's despotism.

Despotism works fine, as long as its MY despotism and you all obay my will! :Q

So everybody smoother your selves in blancmange and get ready to dance with rabbits all night :D

(yep, one of those days. Exploding banana in bag, no lifts and my clear desk that I left last night is this morning littered with sick and divorcing clergymen)

Thanks for sorting out the RP votes Prim. That wasn't a dig BTW, that was just an observation. Because of the way we need seperate e-mail addys for new logins, one of mine is a work addy. I just got confused recently when I got a reminder in my work address because it does not attach the name and gave me a WTF moment. No big deal.

Glad you are grumpy bytheway, Bashful, Dopey and Happy need some cantankerous ones in thier porrage ;)

Ax, I have to say it, if we are talking oxymoron's don't we need a silly cow or two :halo:

:D
