Rockville Roundtable Wednesday — Bring Your ideas About Comments!
Jul 20, 2009 7:30 - 1 Comment
As you know if you are the kind of person who cares about such things, our monthly informal lunch, the >Rockville Roundtable, is set for this Wednesday at 12:30 pm at Benjarong Restaurant in the Wintergreen Center.
You probably also know, since it’s been hard not to notice these days, that the comment activity on Rockville Central has shot through the roof. The activity is great, but it’s brought with it some anxieties. Over the weekend, for instance, a “flame war” broke out that I had to put an end to. People have been emailing me with helpful comments, strong views, and various odd notes apparently designed to make me feel bad for having policies they disagree with this.
The question of what to do (if anything) is not a simple one and instead of writing various versions of the same essay over and over in emails, I thought I would invite folks to talk about what they think a good comment policy might look like at the upcoming Rockville Roundtablle.
So, bring your good ideas and let’s chat! I want to get your best thinking so we can keep creating a space that’s helpful to all in the community.
This is a growing pain — a good growing pain. Let’s use it to stimulate a conversation.
