<div>Thanks for pointing out my error. I did not word that perfectly... </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I understand Debbie did not mean that Wayne, et. al. had to unsubscribe from Vision2020 and stop posting anything. But when you tell a group of people, and we are talking about a large group who have posted numerous times about Christ Church related issues, that this topic should be taken off the Vision2020 list, to quote my previous post in this thread, "because she does not like the subject they wish to discuss," I suggested this "might have a chilling effect on the openness of the list."
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Perhaps I still do not understand Debbie's intentions.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Perhaps Debbie was focused not on stopping all Christ Church related discussion on Vision2020, but rather the frequency and nature of the CC related posts from Wayne, J. Ford, and maybe some others...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If that's the case, Debbie is not trying to keep CC discussion off Vision2020, but only attempting to modify the frequency and nature of the discussions on this issue, especially coming from a few subscribers who focus often on CC.

<br>><br>>Debbie can express her wish that others create their own separate forum for<br>>Christ Church related discussion... After all, her rights to free speech<br>>are<br>>the same as those who obsess (according to some) on Christ Church on
<br>>Vision2020.<br>><br>>But telling others to get off the list because she does not like the<br>>subject<br>>they wish to discuss might have a chilling effect on the openness of the<br>>list...<br>>
<br>>That's basically what I meant...<br>><br>>Occasional sports posts have peppered Vision2020 for years... The Mariners<br>>seem a popular topic, though what do they have to do with local Moscow<br>>issues?
<br>><br>>I agree though that discussion of sports teams in other areas of the USA (U<br>>of I and MSD sports appear a valid local topic) should not dominate<br>>Vision2020. Gonzaga basketball might be an exception, given how close they
<br>>are to Moscow...And I happen to be a basketball fan... My pet holy moral<br>>cause!<br>><br>>Ted Moffett<br>><br>><br>>On 2/22/07, Matt Decker <<a href="mailto:mattd2107@hotmail.com">mattd2107@hotmail.com
