A reader asks:

“Will you be filtering and editing contributions?”

We hope to take a mainly passive approach to editorship, while preventing a total degeneration into strings of reactionary rebuttals (as many online forums become), perverse trifling (as many Esalen Community Meetings become), and politicking which masquerades grotesquely as news or intelligent argument (as most authoritarians, including The Nine, are prone to compulsively utter).

We eagerly await your contribution.
