Yes, but given that I am the webminister, I will still be viewed as an official. I still have to behave. And while I haven't called anyone an asshat recently, it doesn't mean I haven't thought it really, really hard.
Oh, no, I agree...as a Seneschal, I'd like to believe it's a useful communication tool. It isn't; there's no criteria for who gets to say what there and there's really no form of moderation, save for a barely-incremental increase from the previous moderator-less state before the 'reboot' earlier this year.
I don't get why there isn't an official list, other than someone set it up and they've gotten to hold onto it. The discussions that take place are often ridiculously uncivil, with people laying thin layers of supposed-humor or not-quite-respect over things that would never be said in person.
I wish the signal-to-noise ratio were better.
I guess there should be a free-for-all discussion list as well as the 'official' EK list...not that that'd change anything ;)
Very true ;) Question is: should we have an official EK list hosted along with everything else, with better moderation? The answer seems simple, but the politics...
