i've been a bit confused about what you meant by 'democratic' when you mentioned it in the past.
because... when posters do exhibit a clear preference for a change in the rules (with respect to the length of blocks on the blocking system, for example) then you seem quite happy to ignore them and continue on your merry way.
but then... you also talk about how we aren't at the stage of the boards being more democratic yet...
but i still get the sense that there is a lot of talking about it...
but you don't really want us to decide that stuff.
you do seem happy to continue on your merry way...hmm...
paternalism vs automomy perhaps...
(though after taking a tut for someone on that a while ago i'm seeing that everywhere)
how much do us posters really know about how to best moderate the boards?
how much do us posters really know about what is best for the boards, or indeed for us?but then again... how do you?
and what is the worth of your clinical judgement... and what is the worth of clinical judgement anyways when it comes to having a person to play leader???
and how much do they need a vision...
of what they are doing
and of what their role in that process is...and how much is your vision unique?
and how much would others adopt your vision?
impose their own?
and wouldn't a group of moderators with nobody in charge... be a little too eclectic?
with no overall vision... it is too easy to lose sight of a goal.i gotta stop using drugs :-(
still..
