If by 'Anarchy' you mean 'Freedom without responsibility" then I am not going to support anarchy on any list, anywhere.
If by 'Anarchy' you mean that one is Free to cover any topic related to Runtime Revolution: whether it is the code, the marketing strategy, the way Runtime Revolution (the compnay) interact with their user-base, whether RR should have its big toe in the OpenSource movement, and so on - then I support anarchy - although that is not authentic anarchy. As has been pointed out just a few postings back in this user-list - at least part of the reason I was banned from this list was because I exploded into extremely purple language over a matter I thought was important. The extremely purple language was extremely foolish and I regret it greatly. I don't regret the content of my messages (once the purple language had been scraped away) - and I see that some of the discussions that have recently raged across this list are linked to similar concerns. Having seen that extremely purple language is counterproductive I would be the last person to condone its use on-list. What I would like, however, is a Free Forum (and the suggestions about topicalisation are apposite here) where users, would-be users, and anlbody else, can express their love, dislike, doubts, code-triumphs, code-problems, worries et al about Runtime Revolution without being 'jumped on' for posting something that is not of universal interest or of interest to a certain hard-core of people who feel that RR (the RAD) as such (Ding-an-Sich) is the only topic which should be allowed on list. Now, about the List-Mom: Heather and I have sparred in the past. However, I have seen that she is a fair and even-handed person. Therefore I would suggest that as there is such a SOCKING GREAT CONCERN about what should and should not be on this list - which shows no sign of coming to a uniform conclusion - that Heather should be asked to make a RULING DECISION on nature of the use-list. At which point all who disagree should either 'Put Up or Shut Up'. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson __________________________________________________ See Mathewson's software at: http://members.maclaunch.com/richmond/default.html _______________________________________ --------------------------------------------------------------- The Think Different Store http://www.thinkdifferentstore.com/ For All Your Mac Gear --------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
