[Vision2020] Too Much Nonsense

[roger hayes]

Visionaries:

This past weekend I posted a brief note on 2020 that under Jim Risch's 
tax plan my taxes would actually go up. Now, only one person responded 
to this note, and that was a public official. I am certain that 
official had to wade through volumes of personal attacks, name calling, 
religious tirades, simple forwards of patriotic tripe, right wing 
bating, repetitious arguments that lead no where to find my small 
protest of tax reform.
People, and I know you know who your are, you are ruining a valuable 
community resource by diluting the content of this list to the point 
that no one except those who love this sort of nonsense will want to 
read anything posted on vision2020.
Let's demonstrate some responsibility to this community resource. You 
don't knock books down on the public library floor; you don't spit on 
the floor on the rec center; you don't destroy the plants in the 
planters downtown. We need to see vision2020 as one of those sorts of 
public resources.
Limit your posts. Consider if your posts will generate valuable, and 
hopefully local/regional discourse before sending them. Do not attack 
others. Find a different avenue for religious arguments. Do not forward 
entire articles, or lists, but rather supply the links that people can 
go to if they choose. Do not intentionally take arbitrary stands that 
are meant to bait others. Be constructive.

Hope for a change,
Roger Hayes
