I think there's a difference between the definition of Grex's principles as seen by Grex non-participants, as opposed to the applied principles of actual Grexers. re resp:56: There's no conflict between having principles, and helping out another person, unless your principles are pretty whacked. If your principles are so rigid that there's no room for any variation, no matter what, then there's something wrong with your principles, and with you. It's like having a principle of self-sufficiency, to the point where you will never assist another person. That's not a principle of self-sufficiency; it's a policy of disassociation. That isn't to say that, if you don't vote for my proposal, your principles are by definition wrong. You might just think my request hasn't got enough merit to be worth supporting, but that someone else's similar request might. Or you might think the remains of those items would still be worth preserving, and oppose my proposal on those grounds. But to oppose my proposal because of a principle that, once entered on Grex, all text must be preserved forever and there must never be any deviation from that, no matter what... which is what a few people have said, directly... that is the sort of view which causes me to put the word "principle" in quotation marks.
