I assume this has already been brought up, but I can't go searching at the moment, so I'm just going to post it here and you can point me to where it was discussed if you like... *phew*
Anyway.
This idea of statements and polls for and against membership into ToE reminds me of (and I think I remember someone said this in another thread) but the time of old and perhaps bad in the days of b77. We had a massive effort to do away with that system that we used back in the days before we opened, but yet here it is again... only on a smaller scale. I understand that some people won't feel comfortable posting if whomever they don't like is in there with them, but we don't require this of the Membership Lounge and there have been some very personal topics... I'm just rambling because I'm at work and need to look like I'm doing stuff. If my concern isn't very clear, I'll restate later when I am free of work. If I've repeated what has been discussed elsewhere, please link me and I won't push the concern anymore.
