Amos - I asked.

Do you still consider the ability of these volunteer fellow posters to impose their personal judgement upon the words of their fellow posters – without their knowledge or permission – for purposes only of clarity and 'indexing' – really be described as 'minimal'? What more real power over their fellow posters could they possibly require than this?

Amos replied

Yes, I do. What I see is the least effort needed to maintain useability and a minimum of order.

This answer slides from the original assessment of the extent of the ability - by you as minimal – to addressing a different issue entirely and using words that any 'spin doctor' would be proud of. You do not even attempt to explain what – if you consider this ability (to impose at will) is the minimum – what you (or we) could possibly consider to be the maximum…

Perhaps you were originally referring only to the effort required - on the part of those imposing – being and needing to be minimal? This need – not to place too much strain upon our volunteers – looks rapidly to becoming the primary concern on our forum…….

However, this is what you said - and which I have aked you to clarify.

The Clone Department has certain editorial abilities. They are minimal.


Why you see the various daemons you do in the same objective phenomena is, I think, a personal issue, not a community one.

That may well be the case – but you may agree that it takes - two-to tango. The assumptions made by certain volunteer fellow posters that cause the selective imposition of their personal judgement upon my contributions and not upon those of others – is defended publicly to this community as being impartial and NOT personally motivated. When it is obvious – to anyone who examines the evidence provided – that this judgement and editing is selective and personally motivated. That makes it very much a community issue and one that is not address and solved – will result in there being no more community.
