Got back from an open board meeting of Erace New Orleans, where Bill Knecht turned to me to talk about the Eracism blog. I described the open letter to Google, as best I could. We then talked about how we could make the blog an effective organizing tool.

Immediately, Paul Schafer raised the issue of the long rant I allowed through moderation in the Chocolate City entry.

I said that I let that go through as an example of the sort of stuff you might expect, heartfelt and angry. Nothing that would be expressed at a face to face Eracism meeting.

I wanted to spark a discussion of the moderation guidelines, and Sandra did just that. I’ve invited the Eracism organizers to continue the discussion the Chocolate City entry.

I ask that the regular readers of my Blogometer pop over and help them out, explaining your moderation guildlines. Tell them your troll stories.

UPDATE: The discussion is underway over at Eracism Blog. It’s lucid. You all should head over there and get to know some of these community oriented folks from New Orleans.
