Trust in Democracy
This message is based on something I posted to The List That Must Not Be Named tonight. (It's not a leak or a copyright violation to quote yourself.) It is in response to people grumping about the latest iteration of the YA Hugo proposal, including some people I have heard suggesting trying rules to prevent people from even introducing items that have proven to be unpopular.
( Feeling a Little Snarky Tonight, are we, Mr. Standlee? )
By the way, I'm of the opinion that if the most-unpopular motions are too far down the agenda as published to suit you (the current agenda online isn't final, and there's still one more day left to submit business; end of the day tomorrow Pacific time is the deadline), people are entitled to move to Suspend the Rules and proceed to item [X]. If you have 2/3 vote to Object to Consideration, surely you have a 2/3 vote to Suspend the Rules.
