Nyssa, I think we keep talking past each other. What I have been repeating ad nauseam is that it seems unjust to me to pick ONE category and say, "I don't like that. Let's put it to a vote and change it."
I've got two issues with it. One is that I think either the whole ball o'wax should be reexamined, or it should be let go. Don't zero in on the one area you dislike and try for a plebiscite to eliminate it.
Two is that with this method, there is the serious risk that the barest majority will dictate all the terms to the other 49% of the membership. You might think that's fair (winner takes all), but I don't think it's tolerant or generous.
Way upthread, I said I thought it was fair to have a couple of months devoted to SFF. I don't like those, but so what? Maybe a book will strike my fancy or worst case scenario, I'll drop out for a month. I may dislike some categories, but that doesn't mean I'm unhappy with the way things are.
I'm having a very, very hard time understanding why having two months of classics is a dealbreaker. Why should just that one extra month in a category you dislike make you so unhappy? Despite your assertion, I have indeed read everything you've posted and I still don't understand. And once you start talking about making it "better" then the waters get very muddy. Better for whom? And at what cost to others?
