Good afternoon folks,
We typically don't wade into the specific discussions within each forum, however, this community is one of the more robust on AGORACOM and sometimes deserves a little more attention.
We've built AGORACOM on the principles of "community". We've set out general guidelines (6 Rules of Use) to ensure that we maintain "quality over quantity". However, there are times when we tend to enter grey areas. By that I mean when you have two opposing positions, both of which can be logically substantiated.
In this case, the Chuck Moore weblog, and its discussion, seems to be the center of contention. Our admins followed protocol by acting on a violation that reported the a post merely linking to the web blog as off topic by one of the existing Patriot Scientific Hub Leaders.
Many do not think it should be part of the Discussion, while others believe that it is very relevant to the discussion given the takeover offer currently outstanding.
Each micro community on AGORACOM is in essence a living being having different needs and standards from other communities. As such, we'll make it very simple and let the PTSC community decide on their own standard.
I will make 2 subsequent posts with the following titles:
- Chuck Moore is relevant to Patriot
- Chuck Moore is off-topic and not relevant to Patriot
Over the next 24 hours the post with the most thumbs will set the community standard.
It is rudimentary but it should serve its purpose.
Thank you to all in advance for your patience and understanding.
Regards,
Andreas Marouchos
Community Director
