I wonder what you would think if we scheduled a monthly Zoom Meeting?


I was thinking about what it might be like if our discussion group scheduled a monthly Zoom Meeting?  This would allow everyone to finally put a face to a name and it might really allow everyone to be more interactive.  This might also allow our discussion group to take things to the next level.  We might also want to develop some rules of engagement.

I would like to hear your responses.  We can then weigh in to see if this might be something we might do.

dekay, I didn't...and that's more than I needed to absorb into an image that I might observe anyway.... ;)

I use a Post-It, myself...color changes with mood.

One could post an avatar instead of a cam image.  One that could echo the tenor of the discussion on the virtual table....in constant 'morph-mode', constantly convulsing from one face to another....

One might want Scotch, f'sure.....neat, sweet. and refilled repeats. 

 

"...awkward...."

The silence is deafening, but the faces of the gathering is painful....

@dekay ....

...or the laptop in the john on a tv tray....;)

@larry5729 ...! ASL!  Brilliant!

I'm already wearing hearing aids, and with ASL you've got to know it to understand the jokes and the 'questionable language'....😏👍

...members....DeKay will like that....

...as long as no one 'pans down'....*L*

An open 'Pardon' to my removed post...*chagrined foot shuffle*

I'm intrigued by the thought of 'us going RT', but still wondering about the 'ground rules'.  Who makes the cut?

How 'adamant' can one become?  Where does one persons' chide become 'over the line'/attack?  Does 'imho' step over the 'red line' on a monitor for one when a disagreement is in stalemate?

Again:

What happens when the 'keyboard curtain' is pulled back?
Having to key ones' thoughts requires some vague consideration prior to 'post'.

Are we ready to do this?  

I apologize for cheep cracks, but it begins to smack of ’us’ v. ’them’, and I’m real borderline imho (and being realistic ’bout it)...

I pose no real threat to those who’d discuss ’deep tech’ concerns, but have enough experience and decades to discern that which seems in excess. If only imho, which is subject to being in a Roman arena...

"Send in the clowns....we’ve ought to have clowns..." (melody implied)...

One might have different daily topics...but how strict do you see moderation applied? Otherwise, I’d just lurk and spare y’all.....🤔

*edit interrupt: lurk v. luck...which seems applicable, anyway...*
