Some thougts of mine in this discussion (thanks for bringing it up [turnstep]):<br><br>
[id://131] is in a bad neighbourhood called The Internet.
On the internet there are all sorts of stuff, some bad, some good.<br><br>
Everyone knows that, and most people tolerate it or don't care.<br><br>
If you think of this site as a part of the internet, you'll be fine
but if you try to think of it as your local network, you'll be lost.<br><br>
The "problem" with PM is that you start feeling at home here,
and you would like it to be your local network :)
Monks care when other monks get yelled at/downvoted without proper
reasons and we have had much of those discussions the past few months.
That's a good thing and nothing you'll see on many other sites around.<br><br>
The question that arises here is wether or not, and to what degree, we want to let
the Internet mentality enter [id://131]. Is it possible to have a place
like PM in our neighbourhood? I don't know. On the Internet, I don't go to sites
with annoying HTML markup or embedded MIDI music (how can anyone like that!)
and I disable JavaScript, ActiveX, etc. when I enter an unknown/distrusted site.
Or use Lynx.<br><br>
In the PM site, I don't push those home node buttons and I would stop vistitng
home nodes with broken HTML or other irritating content. The thing that I really
would dislike would be if something happened behind my back,
e.g. onLoad="make_t0mas_annoyed();", out of my control... A node with such
content would be a clear candidate for [id://28877] and deletion IMO.<br><br>
A rule would make me happy:<br>
Nothing on the PM site is supposed to happen without me saying so. If I click on a
"Please erase my disk" button - it's my fault, but if I get the disk erased without
saying so, I would get mad.<br><br>
I actually like JavaScript and good use of HTML tags, they can make page shine a bit
brigher, and I advocate their use. And I believe that the golden rule still stands:
<i>Do to others what you would have them do to you.</i>
