Moot live feed request

There's been demands once again that we make the full-moon Moot meetings available via a live feed into the Room of Viewing, so that interested Beaker Folk can see what's going on.

I think the idea is flawed for a couple of reasons - not least that if these people were so interested in what goes on at Moot, they could join the Moot. We're not exactly overrun come the Hustingsmoot each year. In fact, you'd think Beaker Folk had no hands, so swiftly do they all sit on them when the call for candidates goes up.

But I've agreed we will produce edited highlights. But for reasons of people not thinking we're idiots and trouble makers, we'll be removing any of the following:

A) Comments about how we did things in Archdruid Moomin's day. As if something merely happening a long time ago made it better.

B) Back-biting.

C) Anyone arguing that we tried something in the past and it didn't work.

D) Anyone saying the children are our future. When they're quite clearly also our present.

E) Anyone arguing against our involvement in Social Media on the basis of something they read in the Daily Mail. Or heard from their friend Alice who heard of someone advertising a party on Facebook and 800 people turned up and stole the house.

F) Settling personal scores.

G) Any more than the first ten minutes of a discussion about what rating a replacement light bulb should be.

H) Anything ill-informed, or informed only by prejudice.

I) Anything where the speaker refers to "people" thinking something, where "people" clearly means the speaker.

I reckon when we put out the edited highlights next week, they should come in nice and snappy. Round about ten minutes. And if we're really lucky, someone might even mention God worship or mission.
