Dear all, Sadly, our community has been disrupted and disturbed recently. As an emergency measure, we have decided to block forum access to new posters. We will resume normal operation as soon as possible. In the meantime, if you would like to talk to me about the forum disruptions - either as a forum user, or maybe because you have some perspective on the disruptions that you'd like me to know about, please call me on: +1 (415) 670-9319. If you'd like to write to us with suggestions for forum design and ideas on how to keep these forums working, you can email us on forum-design@opendemocracy.net. Best, Jessica -oD moderator
