Re: [microsound] Re: us citizens... (OT)

[Matthew Mitchell <matmi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I basically agree.  For me (as others), its the vitriol, finely ground 
or chunk flung, that inevitably accompanies 90% of such discussions, often 
after the first or second salvo.  So many intelligent people often have so 
many un-intelligent discussions, consumed with their own agendas rather than 
reaching out and communicating.  Its like watching people try to beat each 
other up and basically only get exhausted in the process.  Although I 
wouldn't characterize the recent discussion here quite like that as of now, 
thankfully.

 

Really, in this country connections need to be formed between the 
coast-dwellers and the heartland folk.  Real dialogue in this area may be 
our only hope.

I personally think such discussion is just fine. It's all titled and 

tagged with OT, so if you don't want to read it, simply toss it and be 


done. Microsound is as much a community as anything else, and members 


of a community tend to like to discuss things outside the topic 

sometimes... or should I say that I hope they do at least!
