Rubber stamping past policy decisions make for a sterile and boring party. We have got to push for an increased and sustained level of activity within our party and throughout the game.

For the record: Nay

I support pretty much everything in there, but some debate would be good.

FTR, I was going to abstain, but time ran out. Tongue

Yeah, I greatly respect the work that went into that document, but I also favor discussion and the possibility of revision. If none is forthcoming, or is otherwise negligible, I will vote affirmative on it.

As I'll be out for possibly until Sunday, I would ask that debate on the platform continue in the interim. I'll return to offer my thoughts when I can, but I would also like to ask that we postpone a vote on any changes until we can conclude that debate and I can make those adjustments in the document itself.

As usual, I would also ask all those who oppose the platform itself to be involved in the drafting process. The reason things like this happen is primarily that no one but me ever volunteers to write the platform or even help in the drafting of it. If you want a vibrant debate on the platform that reflects the whole spectrum of belief within our party, you have to participate in the drafting of that program. Only one person, Nix, contacted me personally about the platform during the drafting process. This is unacceptable, and I would encourage everyone to get more involved in the day-to-day running of our party. Adam Griffin and I can't do it all.

You and I share the same perspective, TNF! I have no qualms with the great majority of our platform and basic principles, but it is crucial, I think, that party members actively participate in this process; if that means voting down the platform in the first try, so be it.

I particularly have some proposals about game reform, which I shall lay out presently.

I'll wait for you to lay out your game reform proposal. If it would largely overlap my ideas, then it would be a waste to say things twice.

The holiday wil delay me in posting my ideas, and in any rate I'd love to see what you have in mind, so feel free to post what you propose as well. Smiley
