Dear equalizer,

Here is a proposal;

An open one-on-one discussion about the awadtalk board, it's past, it's purpose, and it's future between you and I, or some other representative of the group that left the board.

Under these ground rules;

(a) We exchange ten line paragraphs using the edit function of the topic thread to insure that inconsiderate posters can't interrupt our measured exchange with childish vile and low insults.
(b) The format can be as a debate, a casual discussion, an interview, or a pre-agreed upon set of questions.
(c) The exchange will continue until the post edit function switches off or until we have said all we think needed to be said.
(d) No insults, personal or general will be made.

And if we can't agree on what constitutes an insult, this experiment is dead before it begins. That would be a shame. I believe that words of balance can purge this board of anger and hate.
