I am quite sure that within five minutes it would become perfectly clear and acceptible why Bruce finds it ok to give Tueschen a new try, just like I or you accept it for perhaps slightly differnet reasons. And within the same five minutes I could tell Bruce in how far it is not my supposed strange European or German or even Prussian stubborness - trying to have rules for everything and control anyone - but rather quite an everday approach which leads me and which could as well be quite American, while leading me to other conclusions concerning some (not: any!) interdepence between behviour on CCC and rgcc. I am quite sorry it often rather looks like a form of ideologic struggle and not as what it really is and has been from my view - namely trying to find pragamatic and justified decisions for getting a non offensive CCC atmosphere from the start. With a beer in real space instead of cyberspace all could be settled fast: I could tell Bruce that I don't want to control people's behavior on rgcc at all, but that I don't like intrigant ways of dealing with CCC in rgcc, and that I still would not accept someone doing so, while Bruce would tell me about the advantages of letting the old decision behind and try something new. Just on internet we don't see faces and real convictions while talking and rather have imaginative ghost pictures of each other causing us some trouble... All the best to both of you, hoping we will still find a way to *see* how much we perhaps agree on fundamental questions and understand and respect each other even where we prefer slightly different ways and interpretations of what happened...
