"I have learned that multiple law school deans and assistant deans have dealt with the Board when trying to mediate online disputes involving their school's students"
"who makes up the XO community? what motivates folks to spend time and effort on the various discussions? how is the site governed? how are disputes resolved? how much money does it take in?"
"Should law school deans be in the business of trying to shut XO down? Should professors encourage Bar Admissions C&F committees to ask "are you now, or have you ever been . . . " questions?" |

yes, it sounds like a great idea to prevent people from becoming lawyers on the basis that they have said offensive things. this is an imperfect solution though, because everyone who didn't want to become a lawyer could offend people without penalty. a more complete solution is to criminalize the vocalization of beliefs that offend anyone. this would probably require a constitutional amendment to repeal the free speech thing, but i'm sure it would be worth it since none of us would ever have to fear taking offense at anything, or at least not without the speaker being thrown in a gulag, which in any event would provide a smirking satisfaction adequate to overcome the offense |

do you also police for improper use of the reply function, those who respond to old threads, and any post that isn't absolutely current in its reference to a prominent event?
by posting and bumping the thred you merely extend the time it appears on the first page, of course; so rather than being a genuine concern about "clutter" this would have to all about your pointing out that you are the authority on all topics that have been broached with a thread. something to be quite proud of. |
