Great, so now I can't even commiserate with a fellow victim without having the hall monitors called in on me. "Juvenile" doesn't begin to cover it. Samantha seemed demoralized by Ash's "answer" to her post -- and I could sympathize. Things look bleak for reasoned discourse above a third-grade, tattle-tale level for these forums and our judicial project.
Also -- Ash, just because I want to do experiments to find the proper balance, priorities, and parameters for our justice system before settling on its details does not make me an experimenter on your account. My goal, like yours, is to have a working judiciary. If this makes me an organizer, I am an organizer. I just want to have some reason for faith in the elements that comprise the judicial system we want to organize and implement. Thus, I believe that experimentation and implementation are properly stages in an endeavor, and that is dangerous to skip experimentation, or end it prematurely, and move straight into blind implementation. This is a difference in process -- not in goal.
