Because that's the only position that's going to win.
Is that what you think?
The only allowable political position is Right Wing Lite.

did you, on DU2, spend an inordinate amount of time not deleting or removing posts that were unobjectionable but alerted on because, you suspect, for one reason or another, the alerter *disagreed* with them?
Ex-mods, can I ask a question of you?

I joined DU3 and it turned me into a newt.

I'm sure we can all agree on that.
Meta Forum was a very good idea, if you like nothing else about DU3
I'm sure we can all agree on that.

My ingredients:
Some butter for frying
Minced beef
Diced bacon
FRESH tomatoes, never canned
Tomato paste
Onions, diced fine and fried
Mushrooms - sliced prerferably
Beef or ham stock
Spring onions chopped fine (if I have them)
Red pepper - sliced
Chopped garlic - only pressed if I can be bothered
Basil leaves (fresh, if I have them, from my plant)
Some oregano
Black pepper - lots of
Of course, you will all think this is sacrilege. What are your ingredients?
RIGHT. Rolls up sleeves. Time to make a bolognese for dinner.

I think we need a clear understanding of the difference between disagreement and moderation.
I think it ought to be generally understood that there's a difference between being disruptive and being controversial. I've been involved in jury stuff already - there have been posts I disagreed with that I could have voted out for removal, but then no-one would have been able to disagree with them openly. I think it's much better to disagree openly than hide things I think are wrong.
I realise that's a bit of a truism, so would a list or set of definitions of agreed "disruptive" behaviours help? Even a small one for starters? I certainly don't discount the necessity to remove disruptive posts.
Curious to hear what you all think.
