The recent demise of Anonymous seems to have had quite an impact on GC.
Reluctant as I am to say it, Anonymous lent quite a bit of colour and shading to our little community, and without her, as I see it, GC is tending toward the flat. (Or possibly, this is just on of GC's many phases, but I'm ignoring that possibility for the purposes of this discussion.)
So we have three choices I think.
<b>1. We, the named, raise our game and introduce a little more variety in our posting (content and style). We need to use GC as a canvas for the verbal and linguistic expression of our whole consciousness, without worrying that we are offending each other by not constantly attending to the 'niceties' of life - the 'hello's and 'how are you's.
2. We (and by we I mean Brad) re-instate Anonymous as a legitimate voice of the Global Consciousness, for better or for worse.
3. Both of the above.</b>
Personally, I'm leaning toward option 3, though option 1 has it's attractions. Option 2 seems like a step backwards to me. Without employing option 1 I think we do ourselves a disservice.
So, what does everyone else think???
