[Sigia-l] Five questions about the future of this community

[david_fiorito at vanguard.com]

You can identify loutish behavior by watching a thread and look for the 
moment it spirals into unapologetic bickering.  Then look for the person 
who pushed it there.  There is your lout.

Now, if thread after thread is pushed in that direction and it is the same 
person doing the pushing then shouldn't something be done?

Is this list really a great place for discussion? 

Is there a strong signal to noise ratio here? 


Cheers,

Dave

But david,

You assume there are louts here?

What's a lout? Who decides who a lout is? Maybe your lout is my life of 
the
party?

This is an analogy I used in a private email about this subject:

Its like having a great discussion at a party with a group of friends and
one uninvited lout barges in and starts shouting at everyone.  The
conversation breaks up and you try and dodge the loud mouth so you can
continue your conversation.

If some of the behavior displayed on this list were repeated in a face to
face gathering do you think for a moment that it would be tolerated?

Cheers,

Dave
