I'm curious what the difference between 'discussing an idea' and 'pushing |
| 36 |
for an idea' is. |
| 37 |
I want a community where we can discuss ideas (even ideas the council or |
| 38 |
you dislike) without it causing a major incident or people getting upset |
| 39 |
about it. |
| 40 |
What would you have people who have these ideas do differently? |
