Put that on the front page. I am actually a pretty decent guy, as far as that goes. I do have my moments but they do not include being a whipping boy because I did not put an intro in the right place. Seriously, I thought the site was good and decided to see what the forum was like. Since some jerk was here before me I get treated rather poorly as soon as I walk in.
Nice place. Do all newcomers get treated like this or did I violate a special name convention?
Look people, clearly I upset some people by being here and not appreciating being confronted and treated poorly upon arrival.
Quote from: LMNO on July 21, 2010, 02:23:48 PMThis makes sense. Too much sense. I don't know if we should trust it.
If I could make a suggestion:
I think that there are some people here who like thinking in Big Picture terms first, and some people who like thinking out the Details first.
The Big Picture folks will put an idea forward as a concept, and suggest a few ways to get there.
The Detail people want to see pragmatic examples of how to do it.
These people will never agree on anything.
So maybe we can lay out a few ley lines, come to general agreement, then see how to tie it all together.
For example:
1) Current society has problems. It would be good to change the culture.
2) Regardless of the pluses and minuses, technology is entwined with culture.
3) It would be useful to use technology to try and change culture.
4) Is there a way to minimize the risks and elevate the benefits of using technology to increase civic participation towards positive culture change?
etc.
Instead of saying "e-democracy is awesome, right?" or "show me how that would work", you can set a potential goal, and then work towards it.
Or something.

That's it, thread over.
