That was indeed a typo - the move away from consensus in favour of voting is actually de-shitting. Thank you for pointing that out.

No, I think the original was correct. As in, it looks like somebody was actually starting to give a shit. Just a bit.

And look how far we've come! Somebody starting to TALK about BLP reform. And stern treatment of BLP vandals!

How long before we realize that there is no solution here but NO BLP? If you yourself, Sarc, had a nice long Smith BLP up on WP, inviting all to take a swing at it, I think you'd see this intuitively. Since you don't, I have to put you down as one more dude who totally lacks imagination, and therefore, empathy.

IOW, just a pretty face. angry.gif tongue.gif

Sigh. Is that what passes for rebellion these days? Once upon a time, Son, we had streaking and acid, sit-ins and street-riots. Of course that would all come back in no time if we had the draft again. So I suppose it all accomplished something. ermm.gif God knows what the U.S. would have done by now, if they'd had a draft pool to do it with.... fear.gif

(listlessly traces a small circle in the air with fingertip) Right... whoopee. The previous period of activism, the Martin Luther King movement, had actually changed something. But the introduction of the counterculture pretty much short-circuited any sort of enlightened activism.
