I agree with faust there - the Wiki should really be the product of our own research & findings, while at the same time linking back to substantiating evidence, articles & supporting documentation from widely-accepted and/or well-researched sources.
As I see it, the forums are ideal for everyone to contribute in collating masses of relevant documented evidence & then discussing it properly - both before & after it is changed. After seperating the wheat from the chaff, we can look to publishing our findings:
- If you find substantial supportive evidence for a conspiracy, move it forward & publish those findings on the wiki. Conversely,
- If you find sufficient evidence to negate the veracity of any conspiracy theory, then by publising those articles we might help save others a lot of time & energy
I'm personally of the opinion that time and energy spent on the former is, at this point, far more useful than on the latter.
If we can first prove what we know to be true, we have a stronger collective foundation. I'm not suggesting that any facts should be ignored, merely suggesting that we can & should be more productive:- rather than chasing wild geese, this is not the right place for advocates of Evis being alive & on the moon to postulate their theories. I don't believe that the best use of time & energy is attacking such "theories", but would instead far rather see CR.org being dedicated to proving
conspiracy factOn the other hand, blogs, however, are a much more personal thing. Apart from their use as a tool to collate information, links & ideas, I think the potential for comedic entertainment, a release valve, means of showing your personality in your personal space - anything - shouldn't be underestimated, but rather encouraged. Bloggers can choose to publish parts they wish to, or keep them private from other members. It's a bit like a scratchpad or diary, where you can record your own thoughts & findings, then publish them when you're ready. There are no restrictions on how you choose to use the blogs - it's entirely up to you. Everyone has their own interests & areas of knowledge / expertise, & blogs are possibly the best way of expressing that.
Having seen & experienced the difficulties of some of our affilliates, we have made a pont of paying for lifelong licences up front. Unless you want more from this site, we should never need to ask for any money to support us. It's already paid for, out of our own pockets. We'd like to provide as many tools as possible to help members collate evidence & findings, meet up with activists nearby, become more active & effective in the Infowar we're fighting, express opinions, linmk in to other useful sites, or simply enjoy having somewhere that you can actually relax a little amongst people who see things the same way as you do.
How you choose to use these resources is entirely up to you.
So, dinna fash yersel, jes git oan an' dae it; jes spier wis wi' onything ah micht hae missed.
