Digger Forum is still alive .. I have just set up a basic site for them.. it just needs approval from the IFA.. It is then a Diggers Forum website, NOT a BAJR one.
As to York BAJRs post.. quite right..
and if any persuasive arguements are ignored, or sidelined, or the reaction is defensive? Discourse indeed requires compromise, and it does involve all parties listening to each other. If people feel that their voices are not heard, and come (for example to BAJR for help as a first stop, one has to wonder why. I am a single person, not an organisation, no council, no rules, though for certain aspects, BAJR is trusted... and a platform for views.. (see how anyone can place their views - within reason = real views) IFA and CBA do make good organisations for representation ... its difficult to find out what these representations are.. a good portal is BAJR.. read by the people that these representations affect... but underused by those very organisations. I indeed took down the IFA section, as it was seldom used.
Where is the place where people can voice their views - openly? Where is the place where archaeologists come to discuss? A touchstone for general feeling that can't be ignored... or can it?

Quote:quote:well argue better and more persuasively next time - or reassess your arguement.
