A question regarding the political forum.

Really the lounge and the political section are essentially public at least when compared to the private messages that members send to each other. I think that's what kurt was talking about when he said "too nice to post in public". Even the "private" forums are there for essentially all to see. You just have to sign up and provide a user name and email address. Then kurt runs an extensive background check, credit check, and even looks at Wiki Leaks before finally granting you authorization to access the privileged areas of SoWal.

I don't see any issues. This site is privately owned and operated. Kurt can do what he pleases.

Anyone can view and post in the lounge or political forum- you just need to have an e-mail address and create a free account. As long as you don't personally attack peeps or spam us, you pretty much have the freedom to express youself at your pleasure.

I feel fairness should be enforced. We can't trust Kurt to implement policy that insures there's no discrimination taking place. Therefore I would like to propose we implement a SoWal Fairness Doctrine. The doctrine would create an oversight committee which would watch over everything Kurt does to insure fairness in managing accounts, posts, and threads. All major changes to the site, account suspensions, and banning would have to be reviewed by the committee before being implemented. Kurt would also be required to filter political posts to insure the forum maintains a political balance.

Freedom comes second to equality and fairness. We can't trust the private sector to police itself!
 
Unfortunately a secret cabal reviewed my post and found it wanting in both substance and style. It will be resubmitted to the subcommittee for potential reposting after the customary 30 day wait period. ;)

It was funny, but once you post on sowal, you have to be willing to take the bitter with the good.

Some people only want to hear what they want to hear and therefore get mad when people post what they don't want to hear. The other extreme are the people who just like to fight without looking for a solution to the problem and there is nothing wrong with a good debate.

When I hear always or never, the topic immediately becomes suspect as to the validity of the info.

This little ditty has nothing to do with assessing Dougie's post which was witty as usual, but I did think it might eliminate some whining.

....and with all the whining that goes on on any given day, there should probably be an AA forum added to the site where members could be sent to detox.....
