Mark, you say
We have rules because rules are the fairest way to decide things. Without > rules all you have is politics. > I think that is not only over simplified but cynical, actually there is a lot of cynicism driving change here not evidence. Who makes the rules and are they fair?, rules are Not always the fairest way to decide things, humans should decide not pre-coded rules. This is not a democracy. There are socially mediated rules and there is the the black letter law, I understand it is harder for people to understand how humans already have sophisticated social systems, which can be used to self moderate online systems, but most people only understand hard rules and enforcers. Just like political dictatorial systems deny our humanity, and restrict creativity. I do not want to say "I told you so" but I will later if this belief in moderation continues to expand. I spent a number of years building a network upto 45,000 people with only guidelines not moderation, then decisions were made by someone who did not understand the network and it began to erode. I feel it is my duty to speak out on this, but it is uncomfortable, because the next phase could be deletion of my words. I am not making comment on Eric's genuine management of pinning.
