I concur with Jefsey. We need to go forward. We can
change things as we go. Link everything so that we
have a chance to see everything and decide on everything.

Dear DPF,
you want to ban .... a forum. What is democracy if it is not the many free
fora of the people. If a few people might vote a ban on a forum we would
have reached the top of sensorship. We are not here under the tyranny of an
oligarchy. Or soon the only permited forum we could open woould be
nicknamed "the soviet". Let us make sur it never hapen!
I accept that you may not like the ways, the person, or the origin of the
forum keeper nor the forum program, but we probably agree that removing a
forum is killing democracy.
I know you call my question "semantic", but IMHO @large are about making
that damned network work properly to the common good of everyone. Democracy
amopng us should be to take decision, not to impeach any proper decision
process. Debating on a forum is part of democratic decision processes. On
*any* forum.
Please, Vittorio, make sure that the link to Joop's forum is still in
operations. Thank you.
