Non-Mensa Politics


 

If this group is going to be just another place to debate national and other political issues with no close relationship to Mensa, I'm out of here.? I'll watch for a week or two to decide and leave it up to the group's administrator(s) to decide what this group is meant to be and how to make it so.
?
BTW, unlike Yahoo, groups.io does not seem to put the sender's/poster's name at the end of a post, so please sign your posts, including your last name.? There are many Daves or Eds, for example..
?
Thank you.

What do *you* want it to be, Dave? ?As a moderator, I have no specific direction in mind. ?As far as I’m concerned, it’s an open forum.??Though I confess to a bias against strict moderation, I’m open to all ideas.??Let us know what *you’re* looking for. ?The same goes, by the way, for *anyone* who has thoughts on the issue.

Interesting. ?Thanks for noting that. ?I’ll start signing posts. ?What platform are you using to read us? ?I’m reading your message in Apple mail on an iPad, and your name is clearly posted at the top (see attachment).

Best wishes,

No, this site is for politics within Mensa.? Occasionally someone may post a general discussion item here by mistake, since PhilosophicalM and M-Powered are also under the same umbrella and ?I’ve done it myself.? If someone wants to discuss American politics, M-Powered would be the most appropriate site.

Sorry folks, I thought I was replying to a comment on MPolM, not M-Powered. ?

This site (M-Powered) has always been for any kind of discussion. ?

The late Christian Haerle founded M-Powered about 15 years ago on Yahoo Groups after clashing with Neal Vonada on M-Positive over some issue, and until Neal passed, both sites were quite active.

I get the name at the top of the post as well, both on my IPhone and on my laptop and on my tablet.? Those are all Apple products, though, and if you have something else, perhaps you get a different view.
