As someone who has been guilty on more than one occasion of letting my posts get too personal I found this little blurb on the e-democracy site a few weeks ago about Mpls issues that wasn't in "the rules";
This forum is about open exchange and information sharing and not about being right with one's ideology. Attempts to "win" an online discussion are discouraged. This is my new golden rule on future posts to the list, if I'm trying to win, I'm probably getting too personal and polluting the old public debate wading pool. (Insert Park Board joke here) Again, I've been more than guilty of crossing swords from time to time and this little passage has helped me think about "the list" a little differently. I'm done apple polishing for today, stay warm out there! Scott Persons Lyndale Neighborhood In a ward to be determined... REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules? Email the list manager at [EMAIL PROTECTED] before continuing it on the list. 2. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait. ________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Un-subscribe, etc. at: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
