I believe this is an important but subtle topic that deserves much more
discussion.
I believe that the sfComplex should host a series of live discussions,
probably starting with a Panel presentation by a handful of people
representing differing but well-considered points of view.
I have been considering this since we opened our doors in June, but find
that it is a very difficult topic. Perhaps the most difficult is the
polarization that seems to come with it. I have a lot of strong
opinions on this subject, some of which I've begun to try to share
here. This thread (and the one it emerged from) have tapped a few of
the ideas and opinions that need to be discussed.
We would need a format and possibly a good moderator to help avoid the
many opportunities for spinning out.
Ideas, issues, topics are welcome.
