Subject: Time: 11:51 AM OFFICE MEMO Re Why PTG Politics on Pianotech Date: 12/5/95 -------------------ORIGINAL POST-------------------- It seems to me that PTG organizational matters might find less resistance on Pianotech if the postings focused on issues, rather than mudslinging. Rational, respectful debate of issues can enlighten and mutually benefit all sides, whereas mudslinging and rumor spreading is designed to damage and discredit individuals; this obscures the issues and irritates readers. Bill Spurlock -------------------MY REPLY------------------ I agree with you wholeheartedly, Bill; but political differences create emotional situations for certain people -- it's the stuff that wars are made of. I don't think we can expect mudslinging not to occur on Pianotech if the internal politics of PTG are discussed thereon. Ergo, PTG should have its own electronic forum. Even it is a bit pricey, I bet the communication that could occur between Annual Councils would justify the cost. Ken Sloane, Oberlin Conservatory
