When i get together with other woodworking entreprenuers i expect the latest govt policies that affect us to be discussed along with woodwork. Maybe a different title like “Health care reform will further decimate the Woodworking Industry” would make the moderators cut? -- miles125, Alabama.."Architecture is frozen music"" |

I can only guess as to the reasoning behind that. In retrospect I guess it’s to be expected.

My 2 cents: Martin knows that political discussions usually turn ugly, eventually leading to individuals taking personal pot-shots at one another. Then the personal differences in politics start pouring over into even non-political posts, as enemies make little digs at each other at every opportunity. Soon, all the infighting starts to make the site an unpleasant place for the other 95% of us, and we go elsewhere. Traffic on the site diminishes, advertising revenue goes out the window, and Martin is out of business. It is a thin line Martin has to walk. He allows a lot of leeway in the coffee lounge chat, and I certainly cannot blame him for pulling an occasional post when he determines it is in the best interest of the site to do so. -- Charlie M.

That’s a rather extreme interpretation of the situation Dan. Adults understand that not everything should be allowed and the protection of the core takes precedence. Martin has shown both restraint and wisdom and I’m sure age has nothing to do with it. -- When you give someone a chance it may well be their last. |

Politics would be fine with me if there weren’t so many politicians. Some of the other hobby sites I used to visit regularly did not censure political discussions like this. As a result, I no longer go to those sites because I don’t get to read about the hobby, I get to read what a arm-chair-congressman has to say. A big hats off to Martin for keeping this a hobby site.

Here’s the blog of rules. Note that it says specifically No politics or religion unless it is SPECIFICALLY related to woodworking. All off topics should be posted in the coffee lounge, and any discrepencies should be taken private. All the off topics that you currently see such as the humor do not fall into the religion or political section, and therefore are allowed. I don’t see why this is in discussion.

Dan, Charlie mentioned advertising revenue and “out of business” as a result of decreased traffic and activity – and that’s true and this site would de facto disappear as it is now. To that you said “well that explains it..the censure of lucid discussion of adults nearly twice his age was more a revenue motivation than an ideological one.” Age attacking aside, posting rules were not motivated by revenue and not by ideological reasons as well (I participated in NO discussions of this kind here). It was simply my decision to keep this site as much woodworking related as possible. “I have no idea why the post was removed because you failed to reveal that when asked. I have only pointed out that there are many other posts that are “off topic” and still remain.” Hope you understand. If you still want to keep debating about these two topics there are so many choices on Internet. If you want to talk woodworking with other avid woodworkers then keep enjoying LumberJocks. -- Martin, http://lumberjocks.com | My Facebook: http://profile.to/msojka |

For the record, I never meant to imply that Martin’s decisions were based solely on maximizing profit for himself. What I was trying to illustrate is that a great site like this can only exist free for us members if it can support itself financially. And if things happen that make site traffic and ad revenue go down, that will not be the case. -- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood" |

Hey Jim…it was meant to have some sarcasm or tongue in cheek attributed to my comments. I did read Martin’s blog (way before I joined the site) and mostly agree with it. I tell my kids all the time…my house, my money, my rules. I do think that the title of the COFFEE LOUNGE is a bit misleading…..”Chat with your Forum Friends about their projects, their life, their philosophies, and get to know each other better” Politics and religion, along with family and health are directly related topics to my life and philosophy. Others may not agree with that viewpoint and that is what makes us unique. Each to their own and RESPECTFUL disagreement with me is always accepted. Personal attacks are not acceptable and offenders should be banned, IMHO. If all I ever know about you is how you make your dados, then I really never get to know you let alone ””get to know each other better.” If we don’t have civil and respectful discussions about our world, then most likely we will never fully understand each other. If the LUMBERJOCKS/COFFEE LOUNGE is not meant for political discussion, then I will abide with the rules as requested. -- If everyone is thinking alike, then no one is thinking. |

Oh I talk on plenty of other sites. I go to the Undernet on an IRC client and discuss politics. I have to admit the cerebral capacity and intellect is probably more suitable there for serious discussions. :) (JUST KIDDING JOCKERS!) I always have a camera and plenty of photos and more than capable of distributing bytes over the internet. For some reason since I complained about having to host pictures on another site to post them here…photo bucket doesnt work. I made the mistake of erasing a photo on photobucket and now NONE of the images will post here…it broke a link or some nonsense. I refuse to start all over or build a new album just so I can post pictures here. Maybe I will try one more time. I guess this way will work.

Ok in lieu of the interest..or lack of interest in the original subject matter I have decided to self moderate and change the topic. The new topic of this thread is MODERATION and the various reasons and attitudes one might choose to bury their heads in the sand and allow others to bear the weight of unpleasant tasks like, for instance, oversite of the system of government to which we find ourselves subjected. I find it interesting that a certain portion of our participants here characterize any reference to discussions of government or religion (both the same topic if you ask me) as a RANT. I have often considered my self as more pragmatic and moderate in my views of life in general, prefering nearly as often to adopt solutions to a given problem based on an effort to benifit ratio. Likewise in my occupational endevors as a tradesman of varying genre, it took a while for me to accept others don’t place the same value on things that I do. This doesn’t mean I am wrong or they are wrong. It only means that, for whatever reason, we see things differently. While my views may change from minute to minute, or not, the only hope for any sanity I can muster is to try and live by the values that seem most palatable to me at the time…moderating…weighing…and asking…is my moderation just complacency?

Seems like to me rather than complacency, more a case of a time and place for all things. This might not be the time or the place. I believe there are times and places for political or religious activism, times for ranting, and even eventually a time and place for a call to arms. That such times and places do exist does not mean that ALL times and ALL places are appropriate for all rants / topics / calls to arms. When I sit down for a cup of coffee, or stand in the shower, or hold my lady in my arms, these might NOT be the times for wild eyed ranting. That I do not choose to be immersed in the rant of the day at all times and in all situations does not imply to me that I am an apathetic complacent ostrich. That I come to LJ and enjoy a focus on woodworking does not lead to me not being active on other topics in other ways in other situations. Different times, different places. Fortunately the world wide web is diverse enough that all topics at all levels from all points of view are embraced and enjoyed somewhere, and fortunately not everywhere. |

“I find it interesting that a certain portion of our participants here characterize any reference to discussions of government or religion (both the same topic if you ask me) as a RANT” This is not a judgement of anyone here, but the problem these days is that the climate of political discussion has become so superheated that even with the best of intentions, forum-based discussions thereof often degrade into ugly flame wars. Moreover, I think that the only definition that matters here (and the only one I’m interested in sharing in this context) is “woodworker” , not “liberal” or “conservative” or any other such label. Sites such as LJ are a blessed respite from the noise and I applaud Martin for working to keep it that way. Lest anyone get the wrong impression, I am deeply concerned about politics and cherish my rights to participate (which I do often).

”So you agree then that characterizing any political discussion automatically as a “rant” is in fact a mischaracterization?” – hmm, depends on what you are saying by any. I believe that characterizing all political discussions as rants would be a mischaracterization. I also believe that many political discussions are, or eventually become, rants. Note that I am not placing a value judgment on a rant, just the execution and appropriateness of the rant in any particular situation. A quote by Kennedy that might or might not be applicable to my position: “What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say about their cause, but what they say about their opponents.” —Robert F. Kennedy That someone chooses to rant, or not rant, does not bother me at all, it is the appropriateness (time and place) of the execution of the rant that might bother me. ”I was pointing out that this was apparently the attitude….but mostly by those that are probably less likely to participate in such discussions anyway.” – I have insufficient direct experience to form a reasonable opinion about this |

I spent 14 years in Alaska and 13 of those years on Kodiak. I love Alaska and would love to go back but now wouldn’t be the time to make a career change. -- Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines! Mike D. |

That was about two weeks ago in the back yard. He was following a cow/calf pair around. The seasons for hunting moose and the legal bull requirements are such that it’s alot of work to find one. I just rarely have the necessary time to spend on it. I do get alot of salmon and halibut though! I suppose we should let this thread die and get out of the site feedback forum. -- Dan, Sterling Alaska, http://sullcon.homestead.com/ Before you criticise some one, walk a mile in their shoes...then you will be a mile away and you have their shoes! |
