Foru.ms - a new beginning and a fresh start (2)

Anything based on a "majority-rules" perspective is inconsistent... this is the problem with democracy. Nothing is stable and nothing is assured; only what the people want, when they want it.

Which I assume is what most Christians are worried about with regards to the lack of the Nicene Creed on this site.

There is a difference between majority rules and mob rule. This leans a little bit to the mob side. Not good.

Ah, c'mon! He hasn't even called me a Prawn of the Devil yet! He can't be that bad.

Tell me what it is and then maybe I will call you it. I really never heard of that before.

Would that be so bad?

That makes sense Erwin. I know that your heart is in the right place.

I appreciate what you are saying and I do like your vision.

But how are we going to have Christian principles with the wiki system. I'm sincerely asking.

Are there or will there be some wiki guidelines in deciding and discussing the forming of the rules?

This wiki thingie really confuses me. LOL

Thanks.

You are not wrong there - I think we need to come up with a set of Christian principles that are non-negotiable - then people can develop a set of rules via the collaborative wiki process BASED on the principles.

Something like the 5 pillars of Wikipedia which their rules are based on - we can come up with 7 Christian principles.

But how do we come up with these 7 principles? I could just come up with them I suppose.

You're right, but methinks wikis in general are a mix of both majority- AND mob-rules.

Like most things in life...

What about the Bible Erwin. They are all there already. Use the ten commandments and work them to fit. They are universal and the basis of all early man made laws so start there. That would be my first choice. I am not a Bible expert . So who knows.

Mob does not rule in my life. It does not have to in any ones. You need to be assertive and not allow it.

Have you ever gotten Prawn of Santa? That would be the best one everest.

CaDan gets called all the best names Nobody has ever even called me Shrimp of Satan.

The 10 commandments is not a bad idea, but most of them deal with interpersonal issues and sin that is not directly practicable to forum posting if you know what I mean. Whatever I come up with will be criticised, hence why I still believe there needs to be input from the community.

So am I. We can manage. Do your best. I know you are busy. That makes it all the more fun and rewarding.

There is input and there is input. Get help and then you will enjoy it more.

What about Shrimp of Santa, though? He has flying reindeer and a jolly belly! That has to have some sort of caché.

 

[meh]

that would be good, too.

before i have to report myself for being off-topic I'll go be quiet now.

It is a brilliant idea. Your a lawyer for crying out loud para phrase. It works . I could do that in ten minutes just send me the list.

Except, Erwin, you have to understand that, given recentness, people will be feeling like their input is utterly irrelevant.
