For my own part, I am lousy at research. I remembered you were involved at the beginning, but not the details of it. When I don't know facts, I try to leave them out.
Let me invert that: Very glad to be reminded of that bit of MOA history! The Fates are kind.
the farewell by b as gaianne indicates was not a retrospective - i am sure everybody who has posted at moon is aware of its history & your special part in that. though b appears both & tough yet gentle man - i am sure no slight was intended
this world is mostly dark - whatever way words can bring some form of light is to be cherished. in this sense, do not look for an insult where there is none
there are so few places of real quality or who represent a real multiplicity - i am sure people are very aware of what others within that community are doing still steel
it happens at a moment though when the necessity for that form of information/communication is paramount
contrary to the way dkos generally views the world - i don't see so much light & that light is mostly in latin america & even there that fragile light is at very great risk
like willy loman, very great attention needs to be paid to this world gone wrong still steel
I think it would be very good if you dropped over there and expressed your thoughts.
In truth, the work that Bernhard did was very central to MOA, but now he just has to put more attention to his own life. Yet the community he collected there is real. What to do? People don't know: They are currently thinking out loud and trying to sort it out. (For my own part, I don't know either.)
In short, yes: That might be a real possibility. The Fates are kind.
I think it would be brilliant if they can be encouraged to join us here keep to the Fen Causeway
However, it you have not been an active commenter on MoA lately... A man of words and not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds; a man of deeds and not of words is like a garden full of turds — Anonymous
ET shares many similarities with MOA - eg Fran's Salon is similar to the Links sections MOA used, a wide focus on international events and news analysis. The big difference being the "E" in ET.
Bernhard seems to have a lot on its plate, reading Gaianne, so I don't think you should take it too personally for having been overlooked.
I think you should go ahead. If people think ET is not for them, they won't sign up. It's never a loss for ET, and it is a sympathetic move on your part.
the way the comments work here is easier to follow. ~Government budget deficits are not nearly as dangerous as the deficits we have created in vital and complex natural systems.~ Naomi Klein.
However, I really enjoyed reading the posts and the comments from all the people there, which I did at least once a week.
It was too late for me to leave a comment there (I only found out the news today), but I'd like to thank Bernhard and Jerome for their time and effort and wish B. good luck in his future endeavors.
