Topics in Oxford - Central, South and West Neighbourhood Forum

From: Richard Mann Date: Sep 10 11:08 UTC Short link

I've changed the subject because I'm afraid there's probably a fair
number of people who've simply stopped reading emails from this forum on
the subject of Bonn Square.

I would suggest that the basic rule required of participants in the
forum is that they don't write assuming that everyone agrees with them.
Indeed that the purpose of a forum is to express views in an open manner
that leaves scope for other people to express a divergent view that
might change yours.

I myself, for instance, don't care overly about the loss of some trees
at Bonn Square. I just want the hoardings to come down.

This forum needs a lot more people to take part in it.
I suggest that every member e-mails the web-page's address to at least
two other people living locally, in the hope that they will find time to
partake and contribute to the discussion.
What I see in Oxford is a lot of woeful apathy. If we want to get
democracy back we need to change that.
Of course we need to be civil and polite. It is clear that some members
are inclined to overstate their opinions. But Paul Wilson (who, like
many people, does not quite understand the meaning of the word
"appreciate") is going a bit far to complain of "abuse". Abuse has to be
addressed to an individual and would consist of calling them, for
instance, "scum", "slag" or "smeghead", or such terms that we hear every
day on TV.
What I would like to see is a wider range of contributors putting their
point of view. Where are all those three thousand people who signed this
petition?
