Are you ever tempted to express your views on DU-controversial issues?

[Donald Ian Rankin]

I seldom seen any of you (the admins) post on the main forums at DU, and when I have it's usually been about party politics, tactics, strategy etc rather than about issues - especially not about issues that there isn't complete or near-complete consensus on DU on.

I presume that's a (very sensible) deliberate policy of not getting involved in arguments and remaining carefully neutral, but are there times when you're tempted to join in discussions on DU more actively than you do, and to take one side against another, or having seen it all so much for so long do you no longer feel any urge to hash things out with people who are Wrong On The Internet?

And (with my Mephistopheles costume on) are there any views that you'd be willing to admit publically to holding that are not universally or near-universally held among DUers (pretty much by definition you must hold some such views, given how much disagreement there is here on some issues, but if you don't want to go public with what they are that would obviously be eminently sensible. Still, I love trying to tempt innocent souls to damnation...)

1. Without wishing to speak for the other Admins

I'd say that your second paragraph pretty much covers it, and I should probably leave it at that :)

2. Ah well.

Back to trying to persuade budding magicians that Helen of Troy is not overrated, I guess.
