I’ve been following Suz’s
Lugnet Livejournal. I’m sure everyone knows, but I have a bit of interest
in the future of Lugnet, so I’m quite a bit uneasy when I hear things about
Lugnet being turned off or going away.
In this
reply , Suz suggests that I have been willfully misunderstanding her. She
also suggests that I start my own site and run it how I want. Personally, I
feel like this is a bit of an insult, but what concerns me at this moment is
how does this affect my relationship with Lugnet?
Should I continue in my role as curator given that Suz has publically rebuked
me and my idea of how Lugnet should be run? I feel like the owners of Lugnet
have spoken against me, and that it is my place to remove myself from their
house. Is that over-reacting?
If it is over-reacting, then what is the proper course? I’ve been voicing my
concerns and asking what I think are important questions. Should I stop
doing that? Should I change my tactic to one of purely asking for
clarification? It seems to me that if I am to shut-up in regards to Lugnet,
then I should also stop doing working for Lugnet - hence I should resign my
position as curator.
What do you guys think? Am I missing something big here (and if so, then
what?)?

Lenny, as someone else that is concerned about the future of Lugnet, but that
has “started their own site and runs it how they want”, I think totally
dissolving your relationship with Lugnet is (IMO) an over-reaction.
I was also feeling very uneasy about the way things were happening a few months
ago, and others said they were too, so Janey and I went and created JLUG,
because we felt there was a need. It seems there was, and still is, but who
knows how long it will last? It doesn’t matter, if you think you have a need for
another site, and you have support from others, go do it.
It may appear to you like Suz is speaking against you, and she may be, but I
think that is no reason to punish the community by stopping the work you do as
curator. There was a time when I was also seriously considering not only
discontinuing my curatorship, but discontinuing my membership of Lugnet
altogether. But I decided against both, and I’m glad I did (although I copied
all my member page content to another site, just in case...). I continue to be a
curator here, and hope to continue that as long as there’s something to curate.
But of course YMMV. My advice would be to wait a few days / weeks, and see if
you still feel the same way. And if you do, wait a few more days / weeks ;)
Hope this helps in some way.
