I am of the opinion that civil political discourse is one of the cornerstones of our democracy and I want to try to support it. Punaweb is not intended to be a forum for everyone on every topic. It is intended to be a community resource for Puna. But it will ultimately become what people make it.
I hope that Punaweb can function as a forum for Puna but it may be that off island attitudes may prevail and pollute our forum also. If and when this occurs I might turn to admonishing or even banning members who take things into a personal offensive style. And if that becomes too much of an ongoing chore I might then simply close the whole site and lament it’s passing.
As Rodney King poignantly asked: Can’t we all get along? It is a worthwhile question and the answer will all ultimately be up to each of us.
