Hi Everybody,this is to all.
A couple of days ago, while perusing the state of play regarding DD at various sites, I came once again to WDDM. The quality of the articles and replies made me want to contribute to the discussions. It is obvious that you have all put a great deal of thought and effort into them over a long period of time in order to try and come up with specific methods to implement DD.
My responses to articles, were an attempt to clarify or point out apparent contradictions in the posts.
It is clear to me, that had I taken the time to read everything from the beginning, I might have better understood. I'm glad I made the attempt, because the replies to my posts and ongoing debate helped clarify things for me. I love it when I'm forced to reconsider my position.
While saying that, people browsing the site, may jump to wrong conclusions, if they only skim the surface.I think a lot of people might be in favour of DD, without wanting to get involved with the intricacies of actually setting up the process.
You will all know that I set up and run myverdict.net. The next part of the site will be a 'county page'. Each 'county page', be it Shawano County, Wisconsin, or Merseyside, England, will run articles, with comments, in various categories as well as forums in each. All input will be from the user, anybody will be able to post articles and there will be no levels of user. There will obviously be links back to the voting part of the site for those wishing put questions to a vote. I think the more people that are attracted to interact with the site, the more may be persuaded to partake in DD.
I would be honoured if you all would consider contributing, inserting appropriate links to WDDM for those wishing to discuss the implementation part. In addition, I would value your comments as to whether you think this a good or bad idea. Any suggestions as to what you might want to see at the site would also be welcome.
I intend to seed each county page with one question and would like your help in writing it.
Basically along the lines of :-
'We the people demand that we are consulted on every issue'.
Should anybody consider this post inappropriate for WDDM,please tell me and I'll never mention myverdict.net again. I only felt free to do so, as others had mentioned it first.
Regards
Roy
