permaculture

[paul wheaton <paul@richsoil.com>]

For those folk that can tolerate censorship:  I delete stuff all the
time at the forums at permies.com.  So if there is something icky, I
choose to not publish it.  A few might see it before I delete it, but
then it is gone.

I delete more than I post.

Many people from this list have told me that my censorship at
permies.com is unacceptable to them, so they choose to not
participate.  I also remove stuff about the third ethic, gift economy,
religion or politics.  That sort of thing is just not what I want the
forums to be about.  I leave the stuff that is about hugelkultur, eco
building, homesteading, organic gardening, aquaculture, ponds,
wildcrafting, PDC's, etc.

This is a damn good list.  And with a list comes icky stuff.  You just
get used to deleting it yourself instead of depending on somebody else
to delete it for you.

I think a lot of folks are looking for a good wheat to chaff ratio in
their permaculture stuff.  That is what I am attempting to do at
permies.  Sometimes people get pissed at me for deleting their stuff,
but they seem to stick around.

I see folks getting mad at Larry for banning people.  I probably ban a
lot more people than Larry.  And I delete all of the complaining about
people getting banned too.  Delete, delete, delete.

The internet is a great big place.  Folks can create all sorts of
stuff that facilitates things just the way they want it.  If anybody
here creates anything about permaculture, I encourage you to promote
it at permies.com.  I rarely delete that sort of thing.
