Reply #20: And, really, maybe that's the case. From what I've read, and I've tried to...

...read all of the DU3 threads both here and on DU3, the uncertainty that is out there isn't necessarily based on DU3 as a piece of software. It's how it will be used or potentially misused. I had seen a lot of threads on this point, and I think a lot of them were unnecessarily on the ominous side simply because there was some difficulty expressing the concern in a way which didn't break the rules, TBH.

You and I probably don't agree on many things. I can tell you that I'd never lock a post of yours unless it clearly violated something. In forums, hosts are only allowed to lock OPs that don't fit the Statement of Purpose of the forum. In groups, it's another matter, but I'm not the host of any Groups.

I don't have any reason to doubt you on that statement but I will say that as a long-time poster in the I/P forums, there are situations where an interpretation of a short "Statement of Purpose" could vary dramatically from one poster (or even Host) to another. I'm really interested to see how all that- not just I/P-related things, but a lot of topics- "settle out" in their groups and what sort of balance naturally achieves, or doesn't.

I'm not sure whether it'll be something that will happen fairly quickly or take a while.
