In reply to let's eliminate the administration board, posted by obsidian on July 13, 2009, at 20:50:37
Admin used to be my favorite board. I thought of it as a process group. Now I think... Either that the process is basically circular or that it isn't really a process at all. Fayerody recently got blocked for something... I think people have basically expressed the same observation numerous times, but I can't quite remember how they managed to observe 'civily' as defined / interpreted by Bob...
I think that Dinah's advice about detachment is good. There is some optimal trade-off between attachment and detachment / dissociation that is optimal for participation here. Sometimes it is safer to withdraw, though. Basically... Bookmark certain boards and... Don't post / read here. I know a number of people do this. Of course redirects have a tendency to lure people back... Detachment. There is something to be said for it methinks. I even think that that can be the most rational position given certain facts about the attachment vs detachment of admin to the concerns that others express.
