Democracy prevails...

Dear all,

A while ago the members of ILP voted for who they thought should be the newest ILP staff member. It gives me great pleasure to announce that tentative will be joining the team as per your request. I hope you will all join me in wishing him well in his new position.

Welcome aboard JT!

Ben

Uh, well, uh.

Like, yeah… er… congratulations… I suppose, yeah, if that’s erm… the right expression.

Tab. :wink:

Congrats Tentative. You deserve it.

Ben, can you tell us when the voting starts for voting moderators off. I’m itching to go…

Uh well, this site has now tentatively gone to pot…

Welcome Brother Tentative. There is a lot of sweepeing to do. I hope you brought your broom. :wink:

km2_33,

What system of democracy allows citizens to vote officials out of office?

To answer your question Xanderman, Big Brother for one… and that’s the closest thing we have to true democracy. Unfortunately, I’m not joking.

But realistically, while there’s no political “system of democracy” – that I know of – that enables the hoi polloi to directly vote someone out, the act of voting for someone automatically means that you are also voting someone out of office. We often hear “party X didn’t win the election; party Y lost it”. So with the political system we voting someone out is done simultaneously with voting someone in.

If you are asking “what system of democracy” allows its members/employees/consumers/team/group/participants etc to vote the officials/managers out… there’s plenty. For instance, there are shareholder meetings, businesses, teams, suppliers, groups and associations of all shapes, sizes and persuations.

What I don’t get, is why you suggest my non-serious request needs to be compared with a “system of democracy” which allows “citizens” to vote “officials out of office”. Surely you’re not comparing ILP to a government? Surely you’re not comparing membership here to “citizenship”? Surely you’re not comparing the moderators to “officials”?

Please tell me you’re joking.

Hi JT,

it was a good choice, I’m happy about you bing “on board”!

We’ll hear from each other.

Regards
Bob

My reaction? Alright!

Congratulations! I am certain you will serve well in the capacity of moderation, moderate, moderator. :slight_smile:

Pink Handbags are very fashionable this time of year. Tentative - he’s a wussy. Visit my web-site on philosophy - http://www.tablovesknowledge.com it rules and ILP sucks. Look at this fine example of hard-core porn http://www.snuffporn.com. I’m leaving blah-blah. I’m coming back blah-blah. I’m cutting down on my posting blah-blah. I wrote a book - buy it now. i like you. i don’t like you. Whoo-boy wouldn’t it be like really groovey if the matrix were real dudes… I came up with this new and wholy original to myself idea - “I ponder therfore I exist” what do you think…? that idea really funkin’ sucks man - why…? IT JUST IS. My name is pinnacle of reason. or perhaps adlerian.

[size=75][Just thought I’d give you the opportunity to use your new and godlike moderatorial powers and delete this post (go on - you know you want to) - but first, how many times have I flaunted the guidelines…?][/size]

DONT CLICK ON THE SNUFFPORN LINK - IT ONLY ACTUALLY BLOODY WORKS DOESN’T IT !!! - jeeze - those porn guys have thought of everything… :astonished:

Thank you for my, uhhh, welcome?

Liquid Angel Essence,

Geez, one little disagreement and…

embracetrees,

You have my permission to turn green. (tree green) :laughing:

Tab,

So you’re back shooting up again. Addiction is terrible. I’d delete your post, but I’ll leave it to show to you if you ever sober up. :stuck_out_tongue:

Again, thanks to all of you. Its so nice to be loved. (sniff) :unamused:

What I meant to say was that soon you’ll be seeing it my way… :laughing:

Tentative was a great choice. Maybe we should have a partially democracy ruled by members of this forums.

Wish you the best tent. Good luck
