Update on petition for psychology, civil rights and justice group

[HereSince1628]

With the new Ask the Administrators forum I posed the question whether was it possible and what must be done to create a new group.

The response from Skinner was " It is possible. It has not been a high priority for us. I think there are a bunch we need to shut down first. "

1. I saw that

and wondered which he meant.

2. That's the only response I've gotten, I wish Skinner

would have responded to the second part.

but I appreciate that his time is limited and he answered very quickly.

3. I wonder which ones he's talking about.

6. I accept that the Admin feel some topics are more important or interesting than others.

To be honest, the emotionally disengaged part of me can do that better than other faces of my personality. But, while I maintain contact with that mode I can see that:

The site belongs to the Admin. They get to make the decisions. A petition is a request, no more.

The Admin are within their rights to ignore or deny requests made of them without communicating their decision with me.

I have at least two degrees of freedom that meet community standards going forward. Those freedoms follow from 2 options, one with alternatives. To wit: 1) not participating on DU or 2) participating on DU opting a) to donate or b) to read ads placed onto my screen by tracking cookies.
