  Re: I resign from the LPRV committee
 
(...) You bring up some good and valid points, especially regarding perception of opacity. It's a real issue, and it's something we're trying to improve on. In this specific example (the LPRV committee and process documentation), I do think there's (...) (19 years ago, 21-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Re: P&P document
 
Whoa! NDA's !? You're kidding right !? This is just getting bizarre... This is exactly the kind of thing that is souring people. This just feels heavy-handed and dictatorial. No matter the reason, this is a bad idea. It smells rotten to say that (...) (19 years ago, 21-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: I resign from the LPRV committee
 
(...) First, thank you for your efforts with the LPRV committee, Kevin. Even though you and others felt you could not continue the process, I still believe it's a vital component in getting LUGNET back on track, and I'm hopeful that the review (...)

(...) documents aren't ready to be released publicly at this time, and I have edited the document links at the above address. Rather than have unfinished documentation floating around, the admin staff prefers to finalize the documents and have them (...) (19 years ago, 21-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Legends of Todd
 
(...) Ok, I'm going to say again what I've been saying privately-- I wholeheartedly disagree. People want to see what's going on. That's how communities work. My current view on the LTT is that they're trying to turn Lugnet into a cold-exteriored (...) (19 years ago, 21-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general) !!

  Re: I resign from the LPRV committee
 
(...) I can understand that concern. The past few months, we have been focusing on particular issues rather than general ones - policies on how to enforce the 'no cursing' rule vs. working the Transition (from private ownership to 'public' (...) (19 years ago, 21-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: I resign from the LPRV committee
 
(...) Being a History major, I can tell you that there is no such thing as a 'no spin story.' Every narrative carries with it the prejudices and biases of the story teller - every story has a point-of-view. In the West, we have worked very hard (...)

  Re: I resign from the LPRV committee
 
(...) Understandable in light of the situation. However, heat of the moment replies have typically gotten me in trouble in the past (one word: draconian) which is why I waited to reply to Kevin's post. I think this is good advice for all Lugnet (...) (19 years ago, 21-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: I resign from the LPRV committee
 
(...) Actually, I'm really happy to hear that - is there anything you can tell us about how the Transition is going? Because from an outsider's point of view (well, outside of the LT), it seems like it's been abandoned. :/ (19 years ago, 21-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general) ! 
 
  Re: Compromised Functionality on Lugnet and Brickshelf?
 
(...) Well, this kinda re-inforces my implied point. You spotlight it because you think it is important, but no one else has. Once again, the problem comes because people don't spotlight enough. Even if the .announce.moc added weight (+5) wasn't so (...) (19 years ago, 21-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: I resign from the LPRV committee
 
(...) Most of our achievements have been in the under-lying structure of Lugnet, and in the preparation for the Transition. Every time some big drama explodes, it pulls us away from that it makes it harder for us to get the spirit enough to dive (...) (19 years ago, 21-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Re: I resign from the LPRV committee
 
(...) No. I was very upset by Kevin's post - specifically how he characterized me (aka Jacko-dmin), and the other admins. I went through five different drafts. I don't think this was the best responce possible, but I wanted to do something - rather (...) (19 years ago, 21-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

After all he signed the post and there would be no point leaving it out since it automaticly says who its from any way. But I don't (...) (19 years ago, 20-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Sugestions
 
You have an excellent point there. The off topic groups are an elegant solution to threads that wander away from Lego. What I find disappointing are threads that begin and end in .debate like this recent one: (URL)* And the fact that .debate alone (...)
