the tall tales of terrorizing talk

The previous post is really a boil over coming out of Corner Table at the Naked Eye  and needs explanation. (Click bold.) Since this site is actually bedlam contrasted to the rest of these sites, redact rules are in place to keep entries within the overall site format.

Which are? The Naked Eye, like everything else, is an account of the views of those who post there. Therefore it developed around politics. The Sunset Strollers began more as an abstract demographic site not a concrete political one, which is to say the Naked Eye became a gossip he said she said site.

The first rule was that they should stay on the subject and could not refer to actual persons. This was to keep discussions on issues and policy, not propagandizing individuals skilled in the fire arts, the fallacy art of argumentum ad hominem name calling. Most political discussions end up this way, so no naming of individuals was the reason for that rule. People can get around this rule right out of the gate as it now appears from their first outside post.

The next rule was intended to keep matters in generalizations, not specifics which always seem to start the fires burning. Some here think that is good, but the establishment around here agree that it is more like two people talking and belittering their own talk into the confusion of simple jamming.

The Naked Eye may eventually have to get their own rules, their own editors, and go off on their own.
