permaculture

[LBUZZELL@aol.com]

Huh?  I don't get the point of these responses -- to make me think  that 
it's all my job to design and create a positive social ecology on the  list?  
That doesn't make sense -- it will take all of us to design a safe,  
constructive and productive online permaculture site for sharing ideas, not  
just 
one person.  And because permaculture is a culturally and globally  diverse 
community, it will need to be welcoming to many different types of  people 
and foster diversity/polyculture rather than monocultures of whatever  kind.  
How can that possibly be the job of one person?

I thought that was going to be your  job.

You're the  one suggesting this. Maybe you could elaborate and design a 
system to
help  reach this goal.

And I suppose they weren't given plenty of opportunity to be  part of the 
social ecology of the list.
Those were people wanting  everything their way and were more than willing 
to compromise the  integrity
of the forum to accomplish this. I thought just ultra right wing  types did 
 that.
