First Look: Our Convo

Looking at the website for Our Convo it seems like just another online lightweight discussion forum, differentiating itself from Facebook groups as being more open and all strokes of the conversation available on a single page.

Ok. But the email I got extolling it was odd:

What we don’t need, in theory, is yet another “online social media network.”

Having said that, please consider (if you will) OurConvo.com, which promises a “kinder, gentler” forum for anyone to express their views…without having to endure the negative, borderline (and sometimes over-the-border) abuses found online.

I am not actually a fan of defanging discourse on the web. I am not in favor of the disruptive tactics that the GOP is using to mess with townhall gatherings all over America, but we don’t need some sort of obsequious grammar school niceness disguising groupthink, either.
