I came to this late - I assume that what you originally wrote is as quoted by @Czarcasm, without the brackets?
I think @Czarcasm’s post is surely intended as a joke that one could theoretically parse it that way, not that he (or anyone) would seriously take that meaning from it.
Really? If it’s not, then the polite word for it would be… “misguided”, I guess.
@What_Exit - what you wrote (originally, no brackets) was perfectly cromulent. So much so that I’m finding it very difficult to believe that anyone is seriously suggesting otherwise.
Really? Because I read it and thought, “What!?” And then I realized what What_Exit must have meant. But that’s absolutely not how I parsed it on first reading it.
That’s why I suggested the brackets in my response.
I’d agree to this, but it also points to my (Not-A-Mod) response to this question: ultimately, isn’t the direction of the Board up to the community here? We are making progress on these issues because we started pushing back, rather than sitting in silence, or leaving. Some people aren’t happy with the changes that are happening, but the majority are happy or at least supportive. Changes would not have been possible without pressure from Members.
ETA: Loach I could see my way to funding some beverages of your choice, and some traded Pokemon.
Heck, more than streets. Maybe a whole roadworks department.
I once had a job where I was doing a pretty substantial percentage of the work. An administrator told me of her vision “to have leaders arise from every department and district uniting us in common cause and mission”. Okay! Since then, I have been slightly skeptics of visions.
