In reply to Lou's views about the {3} rules, posted by Lou Pilder on August 13, 2006, at 10:36:17
Friends,
I am requesting your consideration as to if you think that what I will propose here is or is not a better way to handle the situation that caused the {3} rule to arrise.
I think that it is supportive to have clarification of rules in any community and that the administrative forum is for that purpose. So Thay could mean that the administartive forum is not for support, but it could be.
SO I suggeat that my views be considerd as in the following.
If I was the rule-maker, I would not want to restrict inquieries for any reason, although others may think that restraning inquieries is supportive. But be it as it may be, and taking into account that some others may think that it is uncivil to request determination over 3 to one member, I propose a solution for a new rule.
My new rule would take into acct that the restricting of the number of requests to some people could be uin some way a time issue with them. I can understand that, but at the same time, I would not want to keep anyone's request from being heard. So If there are to be restrictions as to the number of requests, the the criteria that I suggeat for the request to {not count as being in the 3} to have the following critria.
A.That the request has a proper foundation only.
This means that if a request can show that there is more than one interpretation, that the request is to be honored. This can be done by posting a previous post to bring that out.
B. That if there is in the past practice a post that has been sanctioned, that that is a proper foundation to be honored.
C. If the post has {in the opinion of the poster}the potential to arrouse ill-will toward anyone or a group, that that could be a proper foundation to be honored.
now I agree that if a request id frivolous, that that is another thing. But at the same time, I do not consider any request to find out what the rule-maker thinking is, to be frivilous for the requester can not know what the thinking is of the rule maker without asking.
Now if someone had absolutly no foundation for the request, then I tend to lean that that request is also valid, and I know that others may disagree here with me, but the lacking of a foundation could show something that time and space do not allow me to go into here at the moment that could foster support.
