NSG Senate Chamber [NSG Senate]

[Evraim]

Don't be immature about this and add it to the damned queue. Or I will seek disciplinary action.

He's not an official queue maker, he can stop doing the queue whenever he wants or he can do whatever he wants with it.

As can anybody else - because there isn't an official queue maker. That said, I think the senate should decide the order of the queue. We've missed a significant number of resolutions in the past because somebody either purposefully or accidentally neglected to add them to the queue.

[Othelos]

Hmmm... Links from someone I don't despise?

Just add it to the queue. My patience is growing thin. Do your damned job or you will face action.

If I were you, I'd add them myself, since he's being obnoxious.

[Costa Alegria]

Ohhhh! So he is allowed to imply that I am gay, but I can't say that I despise him? This makes perfect sense! Thank you, always so dependable administrative staff.

That's why I said "both of you".

Two wrongs don't make a right, and seriously, you both need to calm down.

Um, I was just having a bill I co-drafted added to the queue. He is refusing because he dislikes me. I don't see how I'm inflaming the situation here by insisting that the bill (which I have had motioned and passed and made multiple requests to be added to the queue) should be added in line with all the other non-heretic-drafted legislation.

Really is a simple request. I'm not trying to make an argument out of it.

He's not an official queue maker, he can stop doing the queue whenever he wants or he can do whatever he wants with it.

And therefore, that gives him a carte blanche to do whatever he wants to people based on personal bias?

I was referring to you calling him homosexual on the Lobby thread. That's not acceptable, and his response isn't acceptable either.

Then you do it then. Or, someone else could give me the link. I refuse to touch anything you have copy pasted with my cursor!

This isn't the lobby. Personal bias should be put aside.

That's rich from the guy who, just a few minutes ago, expressed his hope that I get shoveled out of here like rubbish.

Seriously, stop it. Now.

Take the personal dispute elsewhere, this thread should only be used for the purpose of voting on the SLA. Thank you.

That's rich from the guy who, just a few minutes ago, expressed his hope that I get shoveled out of here like rubbish.

It's funny because the bill has been in queue for, like, ten minutes while he sat there demanding it was put in.

AWARE: that a state of terror has paralyzed the nation

FRUSTRATED: with the persistent inaction and lethargia of the Senate in addressing the numerous violent acts perpetrated on a daily basis against citizens who presently lack legal recourse
