But by only allowing a whole conference, you're also warranting the deletion
of conferences in their entirety. A contradiction on your behalf.

Re resp:28: How likely do you think your hypothetical situation is? And
how would it be any worse than someone just posting a bunch of flames in
agora and leaving them there? It's not as if that's never happened.

(I've seen such behaviour before. The 'victims' quickly 1) remove their
now-contextless comments and 2) learn to think before responding. Sometimes,
it takes a few iterations for 2) to occur.)

That doesn't seem like such a terrible outcome. ;>

People can't scribble what other people quoted from their responses, so
perhaps we should all start each response by quoting the previous one?

The _real_ fun begins when people can edit their past responses: put up some
flame-bait, garner a few flames, then switch the bait to something completely
innocuous. The learning is a bit faster in those situations, I think.
'Twas this scenario that garnered so much opposition during the censored-log
debate.

Richard, I think that you see Grex in a very different light than I do. I
NEVER have thought of it as "publishing" my words. I felt that I was talking
in a limited medium that would eventually be erased and forgotten.

#37...but twila, how did you think that when grex doesn't erase its confs.
even when a conf is closed and archived, it is still kept read-only. The only
way whole confs would get erased under current setup is if grex is taken
down completely, or if there is some disastrous disk failure and there are
no backups to restore anything. Otherwise these conferences should be around
for anyone to read for years and years to come, as long as there is a grex.
I think that is part of JEP's concern actually, although I think the odds of
his son years from now finding his posts in some old archived grex conf to
be remote enough that I don't think his concern is all that warranted.

I suppose that I should have known this, but I didn't. I really didn't know
that the old agoras weren't erased at some point. I did know that while the
agoras were active that they could be read by anyone who accessed grex, but
that's different from having them there forever and ever amen.

I've posted a summary of the rules regarding voting in item 75,
response 179 (resp:75,179). The earliest voting could begin,
should Colleen elect to bring it to a vote, is January 23.

Actually, I don't think I'll be bringing this to a vote. We seem to have had
sufficient cooling off time, and I don't think anyone is feeling overwhelmed
and rushed any more.
Often it is useful to explicitly state that once of your choices is "Do
Nothing".

I'm afraid that *this* proposal was a non-starter from the beginning. Even
if it has passed, it would have no effect on the 2 proposals that were already
brough forth. And I think this was just a bad idea, period.

If the proposal is killed, the item should be frozen to signify it
(with a final response declaring it killed).
Discussion can continue in another item.

I don't see a need for that, but it's up to cmcgee in any case.

Don't I wish this would go away until people got some sense. Grex has
become a black hole of nagativity, which this whole issue over
scribbled items is a symptom, not a cause. It's been building around
here for months, maybe no one else has noticed. It's why I don't
really post much right now, other than the fact that I just moved and
had no computer access at the new place for a couple of weeks.
