I wish we had a communal list of specific phrases that cause a problem with verbiage substitutes that appear to work. I have been struggling to avoid phrasing with landmine-speak for... I don't know how long. It's extremely difficult. I would be happy to contribute my lang-mines and replacements to a communal list if you were to create it. I'd go make the post right now, but I don't want to steal karma away from you, Nyan, so I leave you with the opportunity to choose to do it first and structure it the way you see fit.
First off, it's in main, not discussion. That would be why it's not in the discussion list.
Secondly, do-ocracy. If you do it, I will accept your legitimacy as supreme dictator of it, and contribute what I can. I'm working on the next one (and enjoying some quality 4chan time), so you're not stepping on my toes.
Also, step on more toes. It's not like anyone can fire you.
Oh. Fixed. Grumbles something about getting more sleep.
You are informing me that this is the social norm at LW, or is this your personal idea of the way we should behave?
Oh, I do, but I usually choose my battles. Thanks though.
starts to consider the best way to structure this list
I dunno about LW, but that's how legitimacy works in most technical volunteer communities (hackerspaces, open source, etc). I also think it's a good idea.
As is common with social systems there are a lot of hidden complications, but yes LW do-cratic.
