Apparently Still On The List

[billroper]

It appears that I'm still subscribed to the GT list. I'm glad.

It'd be awfully hypocritical to unsubscribe someone for posting some of the things I've been thinking.

More to the point, that would go against the "room party" model. I expect people to disagree on all sorts of things, but hope they'll keep things civil. I don't expect civility all of the time -- we're not emotionless drones -- but I expect that to be the rule. As I recall, in the roughly 15 years the list has been in existence, only one person's been shown the door. Others have left on their own, deciding they were not wanted, but even that's a small number. (And sometimes they come back later.)

See above.

I'll agree with Kevin in that by being inactive on the list, I've put yet another nail in my ability to be socially active.

But if it's a choice between seeing you on the list, or on LJ vs. at SEMGS, or Shadowclans, or Pennsic, well, I hope to see you at .

Once the kitchen is done, we're also hoping to host <gathering>. :-)

And you got the < > correct, unlike me.

Well, of course. There are their crackpot theories and our crackpot theories. Personally, I try to keep my cracked pot full of grains of salt. There are a lot of subjects where I go "That's an interesting data point. Not yet sure if it's a reliable data point, but I'll file it away and check on it again later."
