If we sort it now it won't come back and bite me on the later.

biting you on the eh Ashley? No doubt there will be a queue somewhere...

actually, I would have interpreted that as meaning that it was an option available to the Editors of DNA sites to have the "button" (as it were), but not that all the existing sites do.

After re-registering I have attempted to post under 'the great debate' I assume that the site cannot handle the traffic it is recieving as it takes me several trys {timed out after 30 sec} to get on. Several times I gave up. Then when I do get on I am told they are closed so I have to wait for my post to be visable.

Very frustrating. Would not having just One thread {say the origenal one that has been active since summer of 2002} for all discussion on the Iraq war be a good compromise? It would simplify moderation and still allow researchers to stay onsite to disscus a important matter?

Just a humble opinion.

That is what I remember from the Afganistan situation, everything kept to one thread, yes yes yes, can we do that again?!!

enthusiatically without any hope whatsoever

I'm very disappointed you don't have a pre-mod button, Mina. That would have been great My sources must have told me a slight mistruth. However, Jim does seem to weild rather a lot of power for a non-member of the editorial teams, even to the extext of doing so un-moderating...

Hello Everybody!

I have spent the day (and yes, I do mean all day ) summarising as much as possible of the debate on this issue. It is far from finished, but I would appreciate feedback and assistance. It's at A1003159. Please, all check it out.

I hope I haven't offended anyone by what I have put there, or by quoting without permission. It is intended to be a comprehensive and impartial overview [and a rather large piece of displacement activity from boring revision ].

I am posting this here because it seems to be the most active of the threads discussing this, and is more or less the only one on which I am up to date backlog-wise!

IMSoP - good job!

just one correction:

under additional reading, you have put 'Tango's Petition Against the Policy'. it is actually Spook's Petition.

spook

Oops! Sorry, Spook - I was getting a bit screen-tired by that point, and didn't look very closely at what I was linking to...

woke up to find out that the banana had been peeled. not happy.

What banana?

I've made a suggestion here: F118784?thread=259360 which might move this debate to a constructive/positive outcome.

ditto

hi ralph
the banana that is happening in a country that is somewhere near kuwait, jordan and saudi arabia. will this squeeze past the's?

oh, and just worked my way through 270 odd messages. a bit of a backlog. it would have taken longer but a lot were still removed from sight. ho hum....

Ashley, with the greatest respect, what might move this debate to a constructive/positive outcome is that the BBC admit that their present policy on discussion of this WAR is ill-judged and censorious.
