Coto Discussion Forum Participant Buzzed Off
March 2, 2008
Dave Archibald, a former CZ board member was buzzed off the Coto Discussion Forum as of March 1, 2008. He becomes only the second forum participant to be banned since its inception.
The first person expelled from the forum, also a former CZ board member, was booted for his attempt at censoring the content posted in the forum.
The Coto Discussion Forum is open to all Coto de Caza Residents, regardless of political affiliation, personal or professional agendas and is for the most part self-managed and self-regulated. As such, participants are encouraged to minimize their ad hominem attacks, and instead attack the status quo.
In Archibald’s case, he was Buzzed twice, prior to him being banned from the forum.
Given that online is a media-poor environment and considering that Archibald may be simply misinterpreting the content or even a case of self-bounded rationality he was asked to debate the issue face-to-face. He declined.
