Here’s one of the things that’s troubling me about the whole “let’s get rid of the AI forum”:
Many of the folks so adamantly against AI info online have themselves advised people in the AI forum. And no, I’m not talking about people who went through the AI process themselves.
I’m talking about a group of people who seemed to turn against the AI forum at about the same time they were complaining that their insulting and rude posts were being deleted from the AI forum. It seems to me that rather than a genuine concern about AI info online, their interests comes out of “if I cannot be mean and control the AI conversations, I don’t think they should be allowed.” After many harsh, rude, and unhelpful posts all over GreekChat, they suddenly have become very concerned about how their groups look to others online.
I agree that AI should be a process directly by the groups rather than the PAI, but since the PAI can’t force their way into a real life group, allowing people to ask questions about the public parts of the process here doesn’t seem to do any harm.
Please understand that I’m not lumping all people who opposed the AI forum into the group that I have described above. I think anyone whose read GreekChat for more than a month could take a stab at who I mean.
