If you really want to get into political discussions with people that are also in good music, then try this list: indescion2004-subscribe@downtempo.com We used this on the Downtempo list to curb the OT posts, which were taking place in the heat of the 2004 election cycle. It's made both lists managable - as music is left to DT and ID2004 can run rampant with any type of political thought, posts, links, etc. mad love, .eric * * *xenlab (music) { * / .nfo + d.load =/ http://xenlab.ezrpm.com/ <http://xenlab.ezrpm.com> *}* Chris Polson wrote:

Dear Orb List Manager:

I am very disappointed in this "discussion" list. I use the word "discussion" lightly as most of the emails I've read here are simply shouting matches designed to inflame further arguments.

I recently joined the Orb discussion list a few weeks ago. The first week I joined I saw a variety of Orb and music related dialogue. Since then, all I see are flame wars by people with opposing social, political, and economic views. Most of the rhetoric is:

a) hyper-masculine, low-brow, poorly written, and ignorant

or

b) pseudo-intellectual, pretentious, repetitive, and ignorant

Is there any way to keep the politics out of the Orb group?
