Overarching Purpose: this thread shall try best to create the easy ambiance of an internet cafe situated in a politically-practical and gentrified neighbourhood where folks hang out 24-7-365 to ponder the process of collapse, have a cup, share a meal, tap on computers, and generally have a good time while fully cognisant that none shall get out of the future alive.
Any threader behaviour detrimental to thread purpose shall be mercilessly stumped on, per simple rules promulgated here Message 31013952 by universal acclamation
For issues not covered by above rules, I encourage you to use the 'Ignore' function.
BTW, posting to no one in particular and mentioning no threaders by name or inference cannot earn a permanent ban, even as such might garner an unspoken but clear-enough 'clown' designation on the thread for folks who choose to insult by such mechanic. In such a case, if done repeatedly and reported, any 6 threaders can exercise via chief decider to throw the offending threader off of the thread for 2 week.
I am constitutionally biased towards (i) non-interference, (ii) self-determination, and (iii) massively distributed circuitry. I encourage all to use the ignore function, either as that provided for by the ever more useful siliconinvestor site, or that gifted to us by our makers as part of our respective mind-circuitry.
The above notwithstanding, the thread is most assuredly not a mob democracy, meaning I am the chief decider, even should I make no decisions at any time in anyone or any group’s favor.
When all above niceties are said and actually done, per "let the hundred flowers bloom" stratagem, I will at unusual times and in mysterious ways step in to stump on, maybe just for my own satisfaction and perhaps even just for the fun of it, because I am the chief decider, or, best of all reasons, for no reason at all.
Cheers, tobagojack
For and on behalf of the office of chief decider, and yes, I retain the singular prerogative to throw anyone off of the Board so as to be calibrated to deliver on Overarching Purpose.
P.S. btw, I decided, without any conference, that the below shall be
