But a proposer isn't actually on trial are they they are trying to do something creative and I think it is rather crueller to have a jury shooting something down in flames in public than have a Forum mod suggein private that a bit more thought or work is necessary. Going for some sort of committee I think could end up with too many chiefs and not enough indians.... like this old tale
I was once in charge of a rowing team and I employed many managers to assess and streamline the strategy.
On our first race we lost by a mile.
On the debrief it was noted that the other team had eight rowers and one cox, where we had one rower and eight coxes.
I then set up a steering committee, sub-steering committee, oversight committee and cost analysis committee.
After one year and thousands of pounds it was concluded that we did not have enough rowers.
However the new managers brought in meant there was no longer any space for rowers and we lost the next race by two miles.
The rower was fired for poor performance, the management team was rewarded for the expert deductions and were paid a bonus from the sale of the oars and boat.
There seems to more interest in organising than doing ...
