I would respectfully disagree with the comment that
the WOD has failed. The expectations might have been too high at the
beginning. I note that the person making the study has not made any
suggestions as to how WOD can improve. I think that the responses are
probably within a predictable range given the number of members and the
population from which they are drawn.
The rules that apply to us seem to have a soothing
effect on controversies. The public servants who belong seem to be willing
to contribute factual responses to questions that are posed. We are all
tempted to add a little spice to our comments especially when we disagree with
someone. I, myself, have toned down comments after thinking about them for
a while. We all have learned to make comments more factual and kindly,
and, thus, more effective.
Congratulations to all who contribute and those who
just enjoy watching the comments of others. All of it makes WOD, and I
think it is as successful as any of us could expect.

Subject: [Winona] understanding now

I'm sorry that I did not understand the ground rules earlier.
Obvioulsy it is not permitted to make personal attacks and sarcastic comments
towards most individuals. But it certainly is allowed if those are aimed
at any government or employee therof, as shown by Turek and Kirschman.
I'll aim my complaints more carefully in the future.
No wonder this forum has failed.
