>> As for Fred, he's a facilitator, not a censor nor an editor. I favor keeping the current set-up. I have never been on any listserv or interest group where any reasonably cognizant participant would have been fooled into thinking that the topics and posts were somehow official law from the sole arbiter of the topic. In short, if you read this (or any) list and think that the individual interests and opinions are somehow absolute, as far as I'm concerned you're beyond my help. << TR: My complaint was that a message I posted was entirely suppressed - at least, I have to assume it was, since Fred neglected to answer a follow-up message I posted to him asking whether he informs people when he intercepts and suppresses their postings. If this is all a big mistake and Fred neither intercepted the message nor received my request for confirmation about whether he had done so, then he can set the record straight on that easily. Said posting of mine was not the least bit inflammatory: it had to do with my experience of meaningful friendships with people from whom I had very different values and/or political leanings. I posted it in the context of a discussion about discrimination and the difference between people's political stances and their performance as neighbors. Apparently, since said friendships did not occur within the context of cohousing, Fred decided my comments were off-topic. Or maybe it was something else. I am left to guess, and to ask with each posting I fashion: will this meet Fred's standard, whatever it is? Or am I wasting my time by trying to contribute to the discussion? I just don't like being put constantly in that position. I am, on the other hand, very interested in cohousing. So I'm putting an issue to the community here, so that it can make a conscious decision about what it wants to be.
