Of course you would, since that would let your proposal override his.

According to the minutes of the most recent board meeting, the votes
are to be run concurrently.
The only conflict is if both initiatives pass, which would quite clearly
indicate that the membership wants the items restored but agrees that
the divorce items should not be restored.
The consensus appears to me to be that if both initiatives fail, no action
should be taken.

I was busily setting up the vote program this morning and getting
ready to start the voting, since Jamie had given me the go-ahead.
Then I decided to catch up on Coop. Big mistake. :)
According to the rules, once the discussion period on a proposal
is over, the proposer has control over when the vote starts.
From Jamie's response #282 it sounds like he's reconsidering the
timing, so I'll wait until I get clarification from him on that
before starting the voting on his proposal.
However, once the vote starts, there's no turning back....

I apologize for the confusion, but there was really no consensus a
week ago on how this situation ought to be resolved. It appears there
is now. That being the case, I have no objection to the voting on
both items commencing.

The polls are now open. Type "vote" at a Unix shell prompt,
"!vote" just about anywhere else. You get to choose which of
the two propositions to vote on. When done with your first
choice, you get to choose again.
You can vote more than once; your last vote overwrites any
previous one. Therefore, it is appropriate to continue discussing
the proposal here during the voting period.

I don't like the way proposal B is phrased. It makes it seems as if it was
a typical staff action to delete items on request.

Even though I'm not excited about this whole affair, I guess I recommend a
"Yes" vote on this proposal. That would ostensibly restore things to where
they were before the "unauthorized" item deletions took place. I'm sorry that
staff will have to spend time on this should it pass, but that is not the
fault of the membership - the fault lies elsewhere.

I definitely don't agree with jp2 that the Grex staff has any contempt
for the users. I've never seen any indication that any of the users
feel that way -- until jp2 said it.
Like cmcgee, I voted against this proposal.

Logic and precedent are not the only criteria for making decisions. One of
my favorte "Bill of Rights" lists is in a book on independent thinking.
VIII You have the right to be illogical in making decisions.
A common way for people to manipulate others is by claiming that you cannot
do anything illogical. They try to force you to go against your own values,
which may place a higher priority on relationships and feelings, by insisting
that you must be "logical". Logic and precident are simply -one- way to
make good decisions.
