Let.sysops.be: Difference between revisions

As the material reads like a bunch of notes for a series of graduate courses, it isn't surprising that the wiki recommends picking a particular category and reading everything in it, then asking a lot of questions or adding contrary opinions or references, which the "old trolls" (what the sysops call themselves) will deal with rigorously.  Part of the wiki ideology espoused, aside from generally [[troll-friendly]] policy and shunning of [[sysop vandalism]] and sysop vigilantism, is that '''''a wiki, in order to work, must necessarily focus on the content, and avoid social factors deciding what is discussed or debated.''''' To this end, let.sysops.be encourages anonymous trolls, keeps 'first person' discourse on [[talk page]]s and [[user page]]s, and '''''evaluates every policy from the perspective of disinterested or hostile new users with knowledge worth sharing - the so-called 'new troll point of view'.'''''  Like [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], let.sysops.be remains [[:Category:OpenEdit|open for anyone to edit]], to satisfy the [[scientific method]], in which any contrary evidence is allowed to invalidate any thesis, and even wholly untrusted critics must be heard and answered.  To further enable hearing out minority point of view, [[issue/position/argument]] structure is employed.  Anyone who finds the dominant point of view on a page is making it hard to express his or her argument can re-organize the controversial points into [[logic tree]]s.  If debate gets intense, evidence, sources, and authority handling are all built into the category scheme.
