Well, here's mine: The Basher Sanctuary was closed, based on some nearly-nonsensical reasoning. A Focus Group was created to sort out the problems leading to, and generated (or brought to surface) by this decision. A group of users was deeply offended by this move, and left the site, yet Sape and Strilo seem to be unwilling to even consider, that it might have been a bad decision. (Note, I'm not talking of reopening the Sanctuary, just merely admitting, that closing it might have been a mistake). We all agreed (except maybe Patrick, he was way to angry, and noone can blame him for it), that we should get rid of preconceptions and stereotypes. Considering that in the comms thread most of the accusations against the BS were no more than stereotypes, and the "basher persecution" is supposedly also a preconception (or misperception, whatever), this sounded like a great idea. But then, after some distantly hopeful start, Rhonda and Patrick succesfully confirmed each other's preconceptions, and disappeared. And kudos to Rhonda for at least trying, RebelScum didn't even bother that much. The administration seems to propose constructivity and productivity, but so far the only discussion that proved somewhat productive, is the "special constructive criticism" thread, but even that admittedly isn't a solution. Then G-Fett asks for conclusions. So my conclusion: this FG was practically useless so far, and all of this speaks volumes of the benevolence of the administration, and managed to "reinforce" those "barriers" we were supposed to break down. And you can be sure, that the guys over there, in the new BS will jump to lot worse conclusions than me. What about working on this stuff some more, so that we can come to a different conclusion? EDIT: sorry G-FETT, i got you wrong, just read the end of the previous page But the rest still stands.
