I personally would prefer to use the word 'endorse' rather than 'sanction', but other than that, I would have to concur with your sentiments Spiceskull...:(

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.

Blessed is he who in the name of charity and goodwill shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.

And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

(Jules Winnfield)

Methinks that U MAY have missed the point that both me + Spiceskull were in agreement about...

We weren't saying that we disagreed in principle with the statements, but that we had reservations about WHERE they had been placed (...i.e. In the personal info bit of a Users public profile) + in such a way, that it implies that the User personally endorses/sanctions those views written, irrespective of whether they actually do or NOT.

 

It should be up to each + every User to choose, should it NOT??...:confused:

It could be seen to be an extreme form of Moderation/Censorship otherwise, where peeps en masse are 'TOLD' what to say + think.

...A topical example would be, as in Zimbabwe during their current presidential elections.

Perhaps we should give all 181,000 users their own personal forums to decorate as they wish!

CAG has become what it has become BECAUSE of its Users Ruk, NOT despite them.

Within certain guidelines, MANY issues have been debated + common problems solved by people bouncing off others + taking forward their ideas one step further.

Freedom of speech should NOT come at the price of blatant loss of individuality, for that alone stiffles progress Ruk.

Are we to believe that 'Animal Farm' exists in reality, now that the original consumer 'revolution' has been consolidated??...:?

If you really want to quote literature, how about: "Much Ado about Nothing"?

 

If you were brand new users having just registered, you would see those as part of the furniture and wouldn't even give it a second thought.

 

Between drama queens and tilting lances at any windmill, seems to me we could be organising a bloody jousting tournament. :rolleyes:

If you go into any high street shop and make a purchase (at least until relatively recently) you would in all likelihood walk out with a carrier bag with the shops name emblazoned across it, effectively providing the shop with free advertising. (I have a feeling that Spicey probably objected to this too, but I'm just making an analogy). By carrying this message, users are simply carrying a free advert for CAG donations.

 

Personally I have no strong feelings on the issue, although I can see the point being made. Let's not forget that although we are all individuals, we are also a community, and the message is for the benefit of the community. I wonder if your kids wear school uniforms or some emblem which associates them with their school community. It is simply a reminder that our community relies on donations, whether of money, time, knowledge, etc. It does not ask for money. Just for us all to give something back, especially if we have gained from the site. It's simply part of the community spirit.

 

Many years ago I was a market researcher and it is actually quite amazing how people ignore messages that are constantly placed before them in their everyday lives. How many posters do you pass every day on hoardings, but if pressed could you actually say what they're advertising, or are they so pervasive that we don't even see them? ;)

Hardly the same thing really is it.

 

I too have issue with it as it suggest that I agree with it without having had any discussion about it previously.

 

Why not simply place an sticked announcment at the top of all forums as has been done in the past regarding the claims touts?

At the end of the day, does it really matter?

 

The messages are clearly uniform and so no-one in their right mind is going to think they are part of an individual endorsement.

 

There really is soooo much more in life to worry about ...

You're talking to a Philosophy/Theology graduate - are you really sure you want that?
