There is a growing problem on Gather. It is a very complex problem, and requires a very serious response if it is to be prevented from turning Gather into a carnival of the mundane. There's . . .

There is a way I thought of to place a "recommended reading list" published by any member, at the fingertips of every other member. The key to this idea lies in TAGS.

Success on Gather may seem like a daunting challenge to many "newbies". Perhaps your writing skills are not all that strong yet, and maybe your reasoning isn't exactly Einsteinian. . . .

There is a force at work on Gather that leads many to post articles that are pretty much BS. The force is the desire to solicit as many responses as possible, I'll call them 'eyes'. . . .

I used to think there were special people. People who knew what was going on in the world, even the universe. I guess it was only natural to think that someone must understand what is happening, . . .

I often see comments along the lines of "People should keep in mind that this is just the internet, not real life". How absurd. This is written communication, just as real as any form . . .

There is this "group" see, and they are pretty smart folks. But they are doing something dumb. If I try to tell them this, they will want to hurt me (with words of course). And they are . . .

It's quite easy to be a jerk. And it's pretty easy for a jerk to think they aren't. These two things kinda go hand in hand, a match made in hell, you might say. There's a little rhythm . . .

There is a phrase folks use a lot that is rather misleading; 'People of faith'.
You see, there is no other kind. Though many like to think their view of reality is based on something solid, that . . .

There seems to be a bit of confusion about what a person is. Well, actually the problem is better described as confusion about what a person is not . . . I guess.

I hate to get mean about politics. It usually isn't necessary or productive, but things have gone too far in this country. We are drifting perilously close to the abyss of fascism, and it's time . . .

I have recently written an article proposing a practice that I feel most strongly would enhance the visibility, and access to, "quality" articles on Gather. Please read the article . . .

If God exists he's hiding.
People that can't find God are not looking in the right places.
You won't find God in your imagination, too obvious.
