I think that would help a *lot*. I think you would have a hard time finding a "neutral-party", Kennita. Even if there were people committed to being "neutral" or "objective", they would surely come to conclusions that would be unacceptable to the people in the particular organizations -- who are certainly not neutral. I cannot see a way that this would reduce hostile confrontations between members of the organizations and I am doubtful that it would allow people to choose between organizations in a manner that the organizations would find "unbiased". It might even foment new conflicts -- between organizations and with the "neutral party". So I question that such an attempt would work and am doubtful that it would help. If you think I am wrong, I would like to hear in detail why -- how it would work as well as how you think it would help "a *lot*". This is my "neutral", "unbiased", "objective" opinion -- unrelated to any tendentious partisanism I may harbor. -- Ben Best Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=24779
