Nah. The nays would habe to outnumber the yays. You can always find 3
malcontents who hate everything. But that sucks as well because you get
involved with runoffs. And subsequently voter fraud, hangimg/dimpled/pregnant
chads, storming of the capitol server. Holey moley let's end this topic now.
Voting doesn't work anyway when you live imside a caliphate. We have yet to
hear from the Big Kahuna.

As Bill poignantly explained, maybe instead of trying to establish a
cut-off date, we instead think outside of the box:
If enough people object to a topic, it stops. Let's call it three
objections. If three different people reply to a post objecting to it then
whoosh, off it goes into the bit bucket, never to be spoken of again.
Example:
Someone A: Hey, is it OK if I talk about Windows 11?
Someone B: Objection.
Someone C: Objection.
Someone D: Objection.
Someone A: Ok, sorry [bashfully skulks away]
Food for thought.
