The policy is that we would, in a perfect forum, be able to discuss those issues with civility and decorum.
There is an inherent problem though...one that cannot be addressed by moderation with contentious topics.
There will always be people who view organizations and their secrecy with skepticism. And some of them are going to blame that secrecy. It's a
sociological issue and not an issue with the progression of a discussion forum...after all, a discussion forum is designed
to vette the
concerns of people who have not the capacity to realize resolution in their real life.
To generalize further, there will always be generalizations based upon the given information...
relatively speaking...
Please be patient; better, be proactive. We as a Staff cannot get to every post and every concern. We do our best. But matters that are centered
upon rhetoric are most often going to become the responsibility of the poster.
We, as Staff, are not here to direct conversation.
We are here to insure that conversation is conducted in a civil manner. That said, any uncivil post needs to be alerted if indeed the violation is of
an egregious nature.
We as a community need to take responsibility for the discussion and its' viability. How else can people learn?
Is it not a better endeavour to be patient and teach people rather than defend a position on semantics?
