Green Mass Group Posting Policy
Green Mass Group exists in part because the political discourse has been so badly damaged by manipulative forces who gain by divide-and-conquer techniques. We want to honor everyone's contribution to the political conversation, so we ask that you avoid personal insult, and treat each other with respect. The internet represents a wonderfully democratizing technology, but it has also emboldened people to behave anti-socially. Our basic goal is to create an online community (ie, create a pleasurable and nurturing environment for our readers) for Green dialogue in Massachusetts. Please follow these basic rules:
- Users can post on a wide variety of topics with a wide variety of styles.
- All posts will be publicly available through a "Recent Diaries" sidebox.
- GMG editors can promote to the front page any post they deem worthy of promotion.
