I know I’ve been misunderstood because of the vagueness of my prior contribution. So I’ll clarify.

For me, the essential matter relates not to the “uselessness” or topical nature of this thread, but to the interpretation of the TOS.

I’m actually much more liberal in my approach than demonstrated by the moderation of this forum of late. That is, I have a growing concern regarding the arbitrary nature by which speech is censored and threads are locked. This means I favor peer response to check uncivil behavior rather than outside governance.

As a moderator, Karen’s gracious and congenial nature is well suited to her duties. However, I find her intervention more frequent than necessary. As a result, topics are becoming more generic, utilitarian, and bland – in this case, just plain silly. This may better maintain a corporate decorum desired by Bondware, but some vitality is lost by the artist’s community at large in the exchange.

Thanks for reading. Thanks for sharing.
