It's encouraging amongst all the political mud-flinging we find in casual discussion and media.Annalynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07213459031876667950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599569914327180848.post-59708021351236982862011-06-23T23:58:49.039-07:002011-06-23T23:58:49.039-07:00The frustration with immaturity and white noise in...The frustration with immaturity and white noise in political discourse is understandable, such noise is rather unavoidable. In any subject that deals with real, tangible frustration and despair there are going to be those who are not abled at being productive within their movement and instead release that despair and frustration in a rather unseamly and brutish way. I think it's good damage control to have such behavior channeled into a single public forum, like that of a FaceBook group (in retrospect, I'm guessing you found your expectations for that group to be a bit silly), rather than interfering with individuals and their discussions; the more you can separate and dichotomize the noise in your movement and the discussion in your movement, and the more you can consolidate the noise and spread wide the dicussion, the better off your movement is. But just because a certain amount of noise will always exist doesn't mean it's not a worthy goal to reach out to these people and attempt to able them to be productive or at least not destructive in an effort to reduce that noise. <br />Just keep leading by example (in all areas of life) and producing words rather than noise and you'll have done your part. Sometimes when frustration is running high it can be (for me at least) difficult to avoid immaturity, but just think back to whether the movement you're supporting is so unimportant that you can risk damaging it and do your best to avoid that damage.<br />God Bless.<br /><br />P.S.
