The thing with all of Lou's posts over the past few months, and the resulting heated discussions, and the people offended by the posts and the discussions...
it's an experimental manipulation, right? You must be collecting data on the extent to which disruption (of any sort) can diminish the efficacy of the board to provide a supportive atmosphere to people.
it must be very wearing to see this through, to respond to all the posts, etc.
A lot of work. But, it would make a da*n good journal article, I think. Because, undoubtedly, this is happening elsewhere, and needs to be aired publicly and maybe some of the other boards will get a sense of the best way to deal with it.
