Ive been following various posts lately in which people are being accused of being either agency bashers or apologists, depending. Much is being written about how biased many people are and how unreasonable they are because of those biases. Aside from the fact that thats just a human thing, its taking away from what might otherwise be more interesting and productive discussions.
So that got me to thinking: What if everybody, regardless of current agency preferences, had a chance to create a new agency from the ground up? What if we could try to combine the best of the current organizations and fix the perceived deficiencies? What might that agency look like?
Please offer any element of our new agency, its practices, and standards that you think would be ideal and say why. If this happens to come from a current agency and you think it deserves inclusion in the new one, just dont name the existing agency. Just add the idea and its merits, letting those stand on their own. Lots of you know the ins and outs of the various agencies but plenty of us dont, so it might be nice to hear/think about it in a more generic sense, with no tribalism.
Please offer only elements that you want the ideal agency to have, rather than Well, it sure wouldnt (fill in the blank)!!! which is just agency bashing not much in disguise, and pointlessly negative. Could we keep this civil, because the personal ugliness of some other threads is becoming exhausting and making me not want to check on SB as much.
