<snipped - but see the earlier message for some interesting thoughts>

I hope people don't take my post the wrong way.  I've agonized over this
thing for about an hour now, trying to figure out the right words to say.  I
don't mean to hurt feelings, I don't mean to stop others from enjoying
LUGNET.  I just want to say what's on my mind and offer my honest thoughts

More brick, less hand-wringing about community. The dangers generated by
thoughtful, well-intentioned moderaters, curates and the like are much more

The only effective response to words (which are about all that you are
likely to find on a news server) that you find painful is to ignore it. The
proprietary feelings expressed are understandable but I truly think they are
misplaced. To keep on doing what you love without worrying about others' bad
behavior will go a lot farther to alleviate the problem than any amount of
curating.

Merry Christmas!

(...) Agreed. (...) After waiting a couple days to see if this post would get a reply, I'm writing to voice my agreement with Larry and my disagreement with how issues like this are handled on LUGNET. In essence, by Suz stating that she doesn't want (...) (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.admin.general) !!
