Personally, I would prefer that George keep posting "the truth as he knows it" to this list as long as he wants, so long as his posts don't get longer than the staggeringly epic proportions he's gifted us with so far, nor more frequent than a couple a day. Although it might be disappointing to hear that cohousing can fail, we might learn the most from those for whom it's failed. I also support the rights of others on this list to rebuke George, however my values about how to do it might be at odds. I dislike personal attacks (ever hear of being tough on the problem and not the person) and I confess a reduced level of respect for people who will say things in personal email that they'd be embarrassed to share in public. (Expressions of personal intimacy excepted :-)! ) If George is distorting things, and you care, it would be more productive (for me, at least) if you could provide evidence or invite debate from different perspectives--don't just tell him to shut up and quit being who he is. At present, although I am quite familiar with perceptual distortions, I have no reason to conclude that his accounts of his dealings with Songaia are seriously distorted. I'd appreciate more data. As for this list being moderated--I've had this discussion elsewhere and it's a sore point with me. This list is moderated: the moderator acts as our host, making sure we understand (as much as can be expected) how to enter and leave the discussion, and going the extra mile to include messages that were mis-posted so that everyone who wants it has a voice. I deeply appreciate the work that's put in to moderating this list! Many people on-line think that "moderated" means that all messages are pre-screened, and only those that pass muster are posted. The correct term for that (dictionaries, students!) is censorship. We don't have censorship, and I would probably leave this list if it were implemented, thanks.
