At FP.com, let**Q**s have **QQ**editors**QQ** that do not write editorials, and let**Q**s have **QQ**editorials**QQ** that are not opinions or viewpoints. Let**Q**s also have opinions or viewpoints written by **QQ**editors**QQ** that are not editorials, unless we like them.

Let**Q**s put up a NOTICE to make it clear to prevent misunderstanding, that if **QQ**editors**QQ** write and submit their editorial writings, and we happen not to like them because these are contrary to our views, let**Q**s label it THE UNSUBSTANTIATED OPINION OF RENZUILLI, THE AUTHOR, PUBLISHED IN THIS WEBSITE … before the readers read the published piece.

Or, THIS WRITTEN PIECE OF FP.com**Q**s **QQ**EDITOR**QQ** IS NOT AN EDITORIAL BUT ONLY AN UNSUBTANTIATED OPINION OF ________ CONTRARY TO THE VIEWS OF BROCK AND THE EDITORIAL MANAGEMENT.

We can put the icing on top of the cake -- a PUBLIC NOTICE in the Forum that runs like this: THIS COMMENT CONFORMS TO THE VIEWS OF THE MANAGEMENT … IT IS AN EDITORIAL AND THE EDITOR GUARANTEES THE WRITER**Q**S WRITING SKILLS AND INTEGRITY. This will make those who are only good at _____, happy.

To balance this accordingly, another NOTICE is required. THIS COMMENT IS CONTRARY TO THE EDITOR**Q**S VIEW … IT IS MERELY AN UNSUBSTANTIATED OPINION OF THE WRITER WHOSE WRITING SKILLS AND ABILITY AND INTEGRITY ARE NOT GUARANTEED BY THE MANAGEMENT.

By the way, notice is already posted not to indulge in personal attacks when making comments, but if you get entertained by doing it, you can decide by yourself to override it.

But if these clarification notices are too much, we can get rid of them.

My chief complaint with editorials is that they are too often unsigned. My cynicism (and experience) lead me to the conclusion that, although ostensibly a gang effort, the tenor and tone are set by the original author. As Freedom**Q**s Phoenix has offered by-line attribution on editorials, they have always been opinion pieces, just mislabeled.

If you have a big mouth, like me, you should be willing to stand behind your opinions. I stand behind each and every one of my opinions with the caveat, as all reasoned human beings should hold, that my opinions are subject to change upon presentation of better information.

As the site gets more popular and more writers interact with the site it has become clear to me that the many new readers should not be confused as to what the function of FreedomsPhoenix is. FreedomsPhoenix (Ernest & Powell) does have an opinion,... and it often differs from the writers that we _allow_ to post here.

I do not see a benefit in preventing alternate views of the world from appearing on this site, but I will take whatever measures are required to make it clear what is and is not the opinion of FreedomsPhoenix and its supporters (and of course Ernest Hancock).

As I started to open up the use of the site to more than just libertarian writers I knew I would create discussion about my doing so,... it was intentional. I didn**Q**t do so until I had added features that would allow unlimited comments from members that only I or Powell could delete (for whatever reason we might justify to ourselves).

**QQ**Editorials**QQ** does give the impression that a publication supports the submission (like the editorial page of a newspaper) so it was very easy to change the name to **QQ**Opinion**QQ**. It was an easy decision after some writers were marketing themselves as **QQ**Staff**QQ**,... which they certainly are not.

Coming soon is a very large upgrade that will allow a new level of access that will allow approved members to create their own Front Page that they will be able to Name, Design, Email Dispatch, Manage their own Database of Members, Promote, Have their own Writers and almost anything that Powell and I are able to do with FreedomsPhoenix. THAT will be where you can have your own standard for content (and have access to post other writers work that is on the Global site). We will also have translations available in many languages (we already have Spanish - Click the Translate button in the navigation bar and see what we are talking about).

Make no mistake, FreedomsPhoenix is mine to do with as I wish. The fact that I wish to be as open as possible with the ability to post material here that I think expands knowledge (in many ways that not everyone immediately understands) may or may not please everyone.

The structure I created for FreedomsPhoenix is such that when a specific writer**Q**s opinion or topics are of no interest to any reader, they are easily ignored and have a limited ability to effect the enjoyment of the other submissions to FreedomsPhoenix. But never think that I will hesitate for a moment to make certain that the enjoyment and benefit of FreedomsPhoenix will not be damaged.
