Talk:World tree

    From Consumerium development wiki R&D Wiki

    Trolls suggest that we not have a Consumerium:Village pump, since that has completely false associations with "community", and instead consider having Consumerium:gnawing_at_the_roots page where trolls can fest and fester and be festive. These of course would be both the roots of empathy (google this, you'll be impressed) and also of the world tree - ecology and empathy being, ultimately, the same (to trolls anyway).


    Also, the existing logo is nice with the flowers and all, but the world tree would really be more decisive and inclusive - and of course troll-friendly.



    What does this have to do with consumerium? 65.49.122.130 22:21, 17 Jan 2004 (EET)

    Read the above, which you should have done before writing that.
    Metaphors matter. Choice of metaphors is, largely, choice of participants.
    If this is not clear, then try "a nine night stay in a birch tree."

    No doubt it will be quite clear by then!
