"There is a proposed solution on the floor. And not a snowball's chance in hell of getting to it. It's been on the floor for a long time, clear to those who advocate it. But it hasn't made any headway, has it?"

There is an unresolved issue under discussion. I have seen two proposals on the floor to resolve the issue. One is advocated by the majority of persons who have written on this topic. The other is advocated by CH alone. The complaint about CH's proposal is that it lacks credibility or merit and is being bolstered only as a ruse.

Another possibility is that his complaint does have some merit but the coexistant quality is irrelevent to the issue under discussion (Buffy analogy). To pose it as a barganing chip has the same flavor as implying that he would do something harmful to Poet if Laz did not give into his terms on SMBR. Only in this case it is holding the beanie babies thread hostage until his demands are met.

Given that some of CH's complaints may actually have some merit but that they are separate issues, they should not be used as bargaining chips holding up resolution to the first issue.

I am open to new proposals.
