[Vision2020] Proposal: Change Listserv Name

Sun Aug 3 21:32:19 PDT 2014

Well, if ya'll have something to say, I suggest you say it. Tom posts community news, national info, and international info. You all never post unless you are hammering Tom.  Tom puts his money where his mouth is, supports local causes, and keeps the community informed. And you did F---ing what? Beat up Tom? Whoohoo for you....Until you all do the community service with the $$ to back it, I'm thinking you might just shut the ghekll up! Just sayin',,,Maybe I'm not aware of your contributions to the food bank, your assistance with diversity initiatives, your presence and filming at community events. I may not have seen you at local art shows, at food collection points, at anti- or-pro whatever protests, but Tom was there. At all of them. If he wants to post 290 times per day, so be it....you all don't post unless it is a response to Tom. Get a clue, dudes. It's so easy to lash back, but it is difficult to make a reasoned argument when faced with the facts Tom posts. 

Perhaps he can consolidate his posts, and perhaps some are too cute to appeal to you----you are grown-ups. Delete is an option.Get over yourself, post something substantial, be grown-ups for a minute! 

Tired of you Ninny Teas!  Who pours? The most "put out Ninny" of the "Tea Party"? Stop being assine if you want some credibility. Words too big for you? How about "Just Shut until up you have ANYTHING of substance to say, you Bozos"?

Rant done...

  That s been my general policy, Roger.  9 posts before 9am?  C'mon!  This is not Tom's personal blog. Many of his posts would be perfect Facebook fodder-which he uses comparatively little.

    I have not checked the vision for a couple  of days, so have missed  some of this discussion. Granted Tom posts a lot, but if you are not interested just delete them. I delete most of the Farmers Market, Human Toll, and Christ Church Posts. I am hit and miss on Caturday. It depends on how much time I have. But in general like the posts. As a member of FIRE I advocate a free and open discussion. I post things from The Smithsonian, Scientific American, Discover Magazine, National Geographic, White Pine Native Plant Society, Stuff from Nutrition Publications and Food Safety. They are probably not of interest to lot of people. Hopefully they are to some. Use the delete key if you aren't interested

      Good topic to bring up - thanks, Darrell!

      Well, that's one proposal.

      My proposal is that we all get back to honoring the idea of limiting our posts to three per day. Given the fact that there was a day in July when I myself didn't honor that, I realize I'm at risk of someone bringing an analogy about the pots & kettles to my attention <g>.

      However, the "try to limit your posts to three a day" has, for the most part, worked for years & years & years, and my hope is that it will work again because I'm attached to this name!

      I could be wrong, but I don't think most folks mind when individuals occasionally go over three posts a day when actually engaged in an active discussion, particularly about local issues. I also think folks are more tolerant when infrequent posters engage in actual discussions go over three posts in a day, whether about local issues or not.

      BTW, something I really miss are the discussions about local issues. Over time, they have become fewer and further between here, it seems to me. I know for me personally, I don't bring up many local issues anymore since I no longer subscribe to a local newspaper, so I'd appreciate learning about local issues I might otherwise be unaware of from discussion here.

      I think keeping to three posts a day should be something relatively simple to do, too. Since Darrell brought up Tom's posts, I took a look and Tom could pretty easily just combine things into one post. For instance, the three Farmer's Market posts today could have been combined into one, and the three mp3 posts could have been combined into one, yes?

      So, that's my vote: let's get back to trying to keep our posts to three per day.

      I opened up my email this morning at 9am to 8 emails from Tom Hansen. 

      And the day is just getting started. 

      This made me curious.  How much does Tom post?  So I looked at yesterday: 7 emails.  Thursday: 8 emails.  I stopped there.

      In light of this, I propose a name change.  Instead of "Moscow Vision 2020" I propose "Hansen's Moscow 24/7."

      All in favor?
