- Opinion and conflict
- ====================
-
- One of the important features of the LAN hypertext is that many
- different people can put their minds together in assembling
- personal observations and understandings into a communal hypertext
- knowledge system. In such systems with many text-entry
- participates, community standards for format, links, and
- relationships are important for maintaining a uniform appearance.
-
- However, differences in opinion often occur. Here's my solution:
-
- EXAMPLE Differing Views of the Moon
- ======= ───────────────────────────
- The moon is RED .................... <jump>
- The moon is BLUE ................... <jump>
- The moon is made of GREEN cheese ... <jump>
- The COW jumped over the moon ....... <jump>
- OTHER opinions ..................... <jump>
-
- SUMMARY: If consensus viewpoints are not possible, make access to
- each opinion equally available to help users understand the various
- commonalities and boundaries within each of the contained opinions.
