David Skolnick said: "The rub, so to speak, is the indistinctness of the line between what is list business and what is PTG business. This obfuscation is not new...we have engaged in it for years, and we continue to do so. This thread was walking the line until, I regret to say, Ryan stepped unmistakably over it in expressing opinions that related specifically to the politics of the organization." This thread was began with yet another contributor leaving the list because they are completely unsatisfied with the very large change that was dropped like a bomb on the list users last year, without any real notice, feedback, or involvement from the heavy users. That was a political decision that had some strong reprucussions for many in the list community - and the large drop off in participation that followed proved this. Mentioning anything relating to PTG politics on a non-PTG-L list seems to be taboo. However, this list, if it survives, will only do so if there is a certain amount of political will exerted. This thread is about the survival of this list - which is ultimately a political decision. Just because there is a dedicated political list, it doesn't follow that any and all relevant political opinions in regards to a thread topic are counter-productive.
