I'm sorry for that Jeffrey, I didn't mean to stir up unpleasant memories for you. It's okay... I'm not bitter, I just enjoy poking fun at those memories when the opportunity presents itself... ;) It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . ID: 651807 ·

Anyway, the discussion here is the Seti Forum diversification, how do you feel, as a non-English speaking person as myself, we get along here, across the nationalities? What i say no such thing,the guy was great,complemented me avatar and such,had a good natter.anyhow to answer your question. I see no problem with that who and what people are,mostly every one gets along here cos we are all here for the same goal,and to have fun of course. Things get ugly here when people start about politics... Sure misunderstandings are frequent but they can be resolved with a cool head most of the time. Hope ya agree with me.

Awww,well we cant all get along... You are saying that Praphul didn't get along with you? That was bad, I thought he was a nice person, very agreeable. That would be twisting the statement out of context. Anyway, the discussion here is the Seti Forum diversification, how do you feel, as a non-English speaking person as myself, we get along here, across the nationalities? Anyone can start a thread up in their own language; though it would be hard to mod I would think. [/quote] Indeed as translator programs are not the best... Scorpions - Wind Of Change ID: 651826 ·

Attempts to deflect Orgil's thread into a discussion of the team TFFE or "The 30" (which is not a team) is unwarranted. Orgil raised some valid points, but to call something unfair is unwarranted. OzzFan raised some valid points as well, but not all of them were. Keep on the point Orgil originally raised. Ultimately, if Orgil or others want a more diverse forum, then, as a volunteer project, they should advertise to as many people from diverse places about SETI and BOINC in general and then also encourage these people to participate in the forums if they so wish. That is all that needs to be said. Plain and simple. For example, KM kept it simple, to the point and truthful. No need for endless debate, devolving into deflections of the main points, etc. ... .

This person does post here, but has not posted in this thread. Not sure if I can get my head around this one Sarge. But I will say this if I may. The 30 is made up of people from a number of teams, including Team England which I am a member of. I was also member of TFFE and KWSN and other teams before that. This incessant claim that The 30 represents TFFE, and is led and created by them is utterly not true, as is any claim that it is utterly staffed by dwarfs and elders of the Cockney Ankle tribe of Zimbabwe. I hope this straightens a few facts out. Certain people, one at least who has posted in this thread, seems to be getting her facts and claims totally wrong again. flam ing balloons ID: 651835 ·

I find it weird that he is less concerned about the people who already have been here and are in his team than he is for the anonymous masses out there. My my my, this sure brings back some 'wonderful workplace memories'... Not... ;) I'm sorry for that Jeffrey, I didn't mean to stir up unpleasant memories for you. Did you see my post in the Altruism thread about this? But yes, it's weird how concerned some people are about anonymous people they never have met when they at the same time are so ignorant towards people they should be concerned about, people who are not strangers. I couldn't agree more, according to you, you could not wait to leave your ex-team, yet now you are poking your nose into something that basically doesn't concern you. If we want your advice we'll ask for it. This is my one and only comment on this matter. Oh Keith, sometimes I really rue the day that I decided to join your team, as I have expressed on my team board. But this thread is really not about your team or mine. You have obviously not read the whole thread, so I'll make a summary as a courtesy for you. This thread is about whether the admins and the moderators should go out and actively invite all sorts of different people in the whole wide world to come and participate on this forum, because the project has an obligation to provide a humane and warm emotional place for people to come and post on. cRunchy has stated that this is our obligation, and he demands from us, the admins and the moderators, that we are less sterile, as he calls us, because we state that this project is about crunching numbers and with this data for a scientific project, and he really wants to see people specially from India to come as he finds they can provide a great deal of that diversity he wants so badly. I then asked about what happened to that Indian person who joined his team, that team he refers to as his family. My thoughts are that maybe he should take a starting from those who really are/have been there instead of faceless anonymous masses of people. And, which you also know, cRunchy should know about feeling left out, being ignored, so I asked him about his involvement in people who belongs to that team he refers to as his family. But how do you feel about that idea that we should take care of the strangers, the anonymous masses before we take care of those we already have here? People choose to post here of their own free will, should they be forced to post and participate in that loving and caring humane community on these board, as cRunchy wants so badly? What is your opinion about this, do you share cRunchy's wish and are you ready to let this seep over to your own team board, so you can keep people from leaving your team?

Agreed and it simply to point out that: 1) the discussion has been deflected from what Orgil originally raised and what cRunchy followed up on; 2) people are watching and are concerned ... and are not members of either of these groups/teams.

I might have to go join TFFE so they can explain it all to me - but this has nothing to do with the 30 or my association with the 30 group. flam ing balloons ID: 651866 ·
