Hello, Therese; Well, you wondered, so I'm responding. My experience with lists and chat boards is that when the subject gets away from its focus, in the case of this List, the practice and processes of OS, it can become irrelevant and often nasty. I don't happen to think that a List ostensibly dedicated to promulgating the understandings and practices of OS should stray too far from that topic. Just because the topic is OS doesn't mean the List is OS for just anything that comes along. jmho.
When 9/11 happened, we had a several posters who were blaming the US for that cataclysmic event and posting so herein. They were challenged, primarily by myself, and eventually left off the polemics. I just didn't want us going down that road again. That was my concern because Korten's hypotheses are certainly challenge-able and have little or nothing to do with OS, the practice and processes, etc. At least with the practice of OS, we know somewhat of what we speak from experience. There you have it.
