That was suppose to be _irregularity_.

You know what I find ironic? All this complaining that a thread that was shut down is happening in a thread titled “Why are threads like this in GD **not shut down** or moved to IMHO?”

I know this thread wasn’t (a) like the “this” of the OP or (b) in GD originally, and it was © moved to IMHO before being closed by the Elections Mod. Still, it’s an amusing juxtaposition.

I’d be happy to stipulate that, except for the fact that _he said he looked it over_.

Your proposition may be good,  
But let’s have one thing understood,  
Whatever it is, I’m against it.  
And even when you’ve changed it or condensed it,  
I’m against it.  
😛
