From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of feste37 Sent: Friday, March 23, 2007 9:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: a different kind of moderation, Rick
I agree with Doug here. I've always thought it odd that although this group is called Fairfield Life, many of the most frequent contributors don't live here and have no connection to Fairfield and are also, in many cases, hostile to TM and the TMO. What are they doing here? Most of the local contributors stopped posting a long time ago; it would be nice to get some of them back so this could become once again a genuine community board with some relevance to our life here in Fairfield. I came up with the name after just a moments consideration, and I came up with the idea to start the group because the Fairfield Weekly Reader, a local paper, couldnt couldnt continue publishing reader feedback on some controversial local issue. But as the photo on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ depicts, FF plays a role in the world larger than that of most small towns. Local-only forums have been started, such as Sharalyn Harriss Fairfield Community Kiosk, but they havent really taken off. Most of FFLs contributors do have a connection to FF because they have a TM background. Regarding some members hostility to TM and the TMO, youll find that in FF too, so thats actually a local issue. Anyway, I cant change the name now. Anyone is welcome to start another chat exclusive to FF, but FFL has found a purpose and has been a pretty successful group for 5 ½ years.
