In Response To: The ethics of the OLM (Neil Robins)

I'm interested in the discussiom of the merits of different plays far more than how or why peole vote. You tend not to get a high quality discussion if everyone is wearing earplugs.

I was going to not post any more in this thread... I thought I hadn't anything useful to add.

I guess I need to clarify my vision of how the OLM should work. It seems that the notion of voting blindly is being carried to an extreme. I am not saying that one should vote blindly and then leave. On the contrary! I'm saying:

  1. Look at the problem
  2. Don't look at any responses
  3. Decide on your move, write a little blurb about why you think that's best
  4. Post
  5. Don't stop there! I think people are misinterpreting what I'm saying, thinking that once you post, you're done. No way! Now that you've posted, go read what everybody wrote. Comment on their posts. Create a discussion. Find alternate positions and post them, do some rollouts on those.

Saying that I don't believe people should avoid looking at everybody else's commentary does not imply that it should be a dozen people voting and not talking about it.
