Theos-Talk Archives (October 2008 Message tt00123)

Here is the text of the introduction to the blog:


"Contributions are invited. Responses to particular Discussions, Articles,
or Messages to the General Council may be submitted for consideration by
entering a reply at the bottom of the particular page. New topics for
Discussion are also invited and may be submitted for consideration by using
the following e-mail address: *reply[at]theosophyforward.com* (make sure to
replace [at] with @) and entering a concise statement of the topic in the
subject line. All contributions should focus on policies and programs (not
on personalities) and be constructive in tone (not just negatively
critical). They should also be signed with the contributor's full and actual
name."

It is significant to note that while the owner does not disclose his/her
identity, the blog says the poster should sign it with full and actual name.
What is the owner afraid of? Want to censor? The attitude is typical of many
of those in TS leadership position who are used to control (censor) what is
going on. Years ago, TSA tried a censored maillist and it died a natural
death.

Let us wait and see what the problem is with the blog to be down.
