[OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenSXCE/SPARC: It was a mistake to keep the site online.

[Jonathan Adams]

I'm sorry to even be involved in this discussion ...

My brother and his wife were removed from viewing and accessing the Church
Facebook page in a nasty little spat.

2 people had a falling out, lets call them "jack" and "jill", with "jack"
saying something in the heat of the moment by email.

"jack" was then immediately blocked from the Facebook page by "jill".
"jill" stated that it was for the good of the group that that person be
eliminated.

Someone else stood up for "jack" saying that it was in the heat of the
moment and that if they both calmed down and talked to each other that
everyone would see sense.

"jill" then blocked them.

Another person then blocked "jill" to stop her blocking people who
disagreed with her.  That person was then blocked by someone who felt that
"jill" was possibly right.

"jill" at this point had validation that she was right.

Another person tried to side with "jack", and then things got screwy.

both teams found a person with the ability to block and started blocking
people, _in_case_ they took sides.

Overnight the church was in uproar, including people who never went on
facebook, and some who didn't even know what it was.

It fell to the vicar to pull "jack" and "jill" into an office and tell them
the facts straight.

everyone was given access again, and at the end of it, the only thing that
was certain was that no one could trust any of the people who had blocked
others to have the ability to block others in future.

do what has been suggested, if you don't want to see emails from a person,
and filter them.

do stop adding to this discussion ... the one with the inflammatory subject
from Martin.

Please stop saying that a community is damaged because it either does, or
doesn't block someone from it's list.

Remember that all people are different we don't all think the same way ...
if all great minds think alike then how do we create new ideas?

There will always be disagreements, working out how to get through them is
the important thing ... sometimes that means just letting things slide.
