I would like to respectfully ask members to refrain from labeling or characterizing other members. While not always a rule violation, it gets personal pretty quickly and usually leads to trouble, which we've all experienced quite a bit of until recently.
Critiquing and labeling arguments, without being nasty, is of course our stock in trade. Related question: RT Rybak, back on the forum in a big way, has posted three times today answering members' questions. This represents an embarrassment of riches, but also a rules violation. Given that he is the subject of these threads, it seems a bit cheesy to ask him to post some other time. Could members email me directly (and briefly) at [EMAIL PROTECTED] about whether they support or oppose a rules modification allowing candidates unlimited to response to comments/questions from the forum? The basic idea is that a candidate could only exceed the two-post-per-day limit to respond to a criticism or question. If you feel this is biased in favor of RT, or would clog your in-boxes, or is too late in the election season to implement - or whatever - I'd like to know. If you think it would improve the forum, I'd like to know too. I will bow to majority rule on this one, given my previous support of the candidate (though the rule would be open for all city candidates). Again, email me OFF-LIST at [EMAIL PROTECTED], or hit reply to this message. Thanks, David Brauer List manager _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
