Subject: TRYoung follow-up
I am an infrequent poster who more often replies directly to posters, but then,
those are infrequent, also. So, I enjoy lurking. I have my favorites among the
more frequent contributors and there are those I automatically delete. Both
sides of the issue are understandable; I would be disappointed if my particular
favorites are limited but support limiting... none of us can be pleased with
any attempts to add external censoring. But, I certainly appreciate the awful
dilemma the moderators find themselves because individual contributors have not
apparently been willing to self-censor. A number of you are known to one anothe
r and it would appear that the moderators are well known. I'm amazed at some of
the sentiments that have been aired that have not considered this. Max Weber
referred to it as vershehen--we call it empathy. Would the moderators resort to
this action were the situation not considered serious? TR Young's post was a
lovely, civil response that deserves attention, in my estimation.
