If all that looks a little daunting and possibly a little negative - I came up with the following - back in March 2003. It could be tweaked a little or positively added to but the main idea is there. An unamed someone referred to it as the 6 ENCOURAGEMENTS

Could folk be encouraged to encourage each other to ingore subjects they do not care for, rather than the idea that these should be banned?

Could folk be encouraged to encourage others to just 'mind their own business' and not be encouraged to introduce others as candidates for censorship?

Could folk be encouraged to encourage each other to confine their requests for any later editorial changes to their own postings?

Could folk be encouraged to encourage each other to just get on with the discussion in the thread, and not to dicuss and pass judgement on everyone else's right to say what they wish?

Could folk be encouraged to encourage each other to use tolerance and self-control, rather than expecting control to be imposed?

Could folk who have the power to control, present the example and encourage each other to exert self-control and a light, preferably invisible, touch and try not to give the impression of Big Brother elite grouping of chosen ones, eager to pass their final judgements?
