[Noisebridge-discuss] A call for moderation

[Praveen Sinha]

I hate moderation...  And to a certain extent I think people letting off
steam and being boisterous is actually healthy for a community.  Maybe we
can have a noisebridge-meta or noisbridge-policy list which would be for
discussion things like politics?   I'm not sure would a good policy for
noisebridge discuss would be, but maybe we could ask people to not
excessively bicker or post pointlessly to the main discuss list.  As much as
I disagree with some people on the list I really beleive in freedom of
expression more :)
