Lawrence F. London, Jr. replied:
Not if it means Dick Pierce or others of his caliber leaving the forum,
otherwise so be it!
Dick has been interested in various permaculture literary ventures proposed
or suggested here
and I am hoping he will stay around. He alone is worth hundreds of the
ungrateful
proselytizers who decided this forum was a convenient podium for their
exclusive use.
I will wait and see.

How about this. A new forum: permaculture, ethics & politics or
pep@lists.ibiblio.org
Anyone interested?

Scott replies:

The problem is that ethics are at the core of permaculture design. You
can't have permaculture without the ethics. It is what sets permaculture
apart from all other design and methodologies; it requires that we question
every action in the environment including our interaction with people.

So I wouldn't be for separating the forums into one that only discusses
methodology (visible structures) and one that discusses the invisible
(social, legal, and financial). Permaculture is a "whole system" approach
to design and teaching and can't be divided into compartments', or
specialties.

My thoughts,
