I hadn’t even seen that, Mark. I’ve tried to avoid reading the bulk of
the thread, since it only depresses me. (I’m a Space guy with tons of
real gray and I will miss it. But that’s neither here nor there :)

This seems like a very unfair move designed to discourage the expression
of negative opinions about the color change, for the benefit of a few
people who want to ignore those opinions. I can see that when anyone
voices any opinion on the color change besides the apparently LUGNET-
sanctioned “like it or lump it” stance, the response will be “Go back
to your ghetto - FUT to .color”.

Nope, this move isn’t designed to discourage expression at all -- in fact,
in 20/20 hindsight, I think it should have been made five months ago. It
wouldn’t change any of the opinions expressed.

This is the sort of thing I would expect from FBTB, but not from LUGNET.
I am very disappointed.

I’m concerned that you feel that it unfairly shuffles people off into a
corner. It’s not meant that way at all -- and I don’t think it will end
up being like that.
Please understand that the decision was made today to create the new group
upon realizing that discussion of color issues have reached critical mass.
Having a lugnet.color group has been an idea kicked around for several
years (starting back roughly when the lugnet.year.xxxx groups were
created) -- but there didn’t seem to be any interest in it back then,
since it was before the big color boom of 1998-99, and it was a slippery
slope from there to here.
