An interesting concept for Poole to consider.

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Poole's Roost II : One Thread

I have enjoyed watching the evolution of a number of online communities. None more so than TB2000 on EZboard. It appears that they are now banning posts on individual threads.

Right Wing

As I understand it, you can't post to the thread if you disagree with the original poster. [By-the-by, the Right Wing thing is from the post, not from me.

Z,

I've even lifted the restriction on Tax Protesters putting stuff here, so I don't think I'll go with anything like this.

Besides, I just don't have the TIME. I always wondered how the old TB2000 sysops found the time to edit and delete posts -- there must have been a million of them. :)

Z:

That thread was careful to say *Christian* right wing, which you omitted for some reason. Let me assure you that these guys are NOT my idea of fiscal conservatives or Libertarian-type small government people. These are people who believe in using the state to enforce the tenets of their church, a Religious Oppression faction that preaches intolerance not compatible with either right or left.

I do agree that those people specialize in intolerance and should be delighted by the prospect.

Yeah Flint:

I would like to say that I left it out because I have found that Christian has many meanings and no matter how you use it you offend someone.

In reality, I was just making a title for the link and that is what I remembered. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Best Wishes,,,,

The term "devolution" comes to mind.
