robin orton's expression that '..societal superiority..' is desirable in our leaders, as expressed here on our little board in the last month, is coming close to forelock tugging of the worst kind. Wake-up - we live in a modern society. We are all free to hold and express a range of opinons.As a board that is effectively un-moderated we must take steps to ensure that moderation by the side door avoids a disproportionately antediluvian mind-set
I don't get this, JGDocherty. Are you saying that 'moderation by the side door' (whatever that is) should be used to prevent the expression of views reflecting 'a disproportionately antediluvian mind set' on this forum? If so, that seems a trifle harsh. Antediluvians of the world unite!
For the record, the expression 'societal superiority' itself was Roz's. I was merely defending what I understood it to imply in the context of a constitutional monarchy.
Could someone not put this thread out of its misery and see whether it resurrects itself as something a little better focussed?
