Controversial home page and no more holidays for Peter

Hello all, Well it seems that I shouldn’t be allowed to go on holidays! For the last two weeks I’ve been hanging out on a beach in Far North Queensland – boring my daughter with early morning photo sessions: And over these two weeks a couple controversies of have popped up on RedBubble that I feel need to be addressed. Principally, there was the homepage from yesterday: This homepage has been interpreted as anti Iraq war, anti American and anti US soldiers fighting the Iraq war. This was not the intention of the home page. The staff of RB take it in turns to select the home page and the creator of this particular home page wrote to me: My sole intention was to display a selection of silhouette / stencil t-shirt designs that were a credit to their creators. I apologize unreservedly to anyone who has been offended by this home page. Philosophically, we view RedBubble as a platform. It’s a platform for people to share their ‘creative genius’ (art / design / et cetera) – to enjoy the work of others – to exchange ideas – to be encouraged and inspired – to learn and grow. Our role is to provide and monitor this platform – it’s not our role to take sides. We strive to be impartial and independent. There are ground rules for RedBubble – and they exist to help us to cultivate an open and supportive environment. But when it comes to individual topics we want to ‘stay out of it’ except where things start to go outside of the guidelines. The home page was a mistake as it could be interpreted as an editorial endorsement of a particular view on the Iraq war. We make no editorial comment on the Iraq war – and we will be more careful to stay impartial with future home pages (and other places in the site that can be viewed as editorial). Again I apologize unreservedly for any distress we have caused with this homepage. The home page controversy also leads me to the broader issue of dealing with ‘hot’ topics on RedBubble. Some have suggested that we should ban any material that touches on politics or religion (hot topics). I don’t think this would be good for RedBubble – in fact I think it would diminish the site. Art can help us ‘see’ the world – it can help us to better understand the experience that is life. And politics, religion and other such ‘hot’ topics are often very important components of our world and our lives. As such I think they deserve to be the subject of artistic reflection – and subject to debate and discussion. To leave them off the site would be to create a conspicuous emptiness – and would limit the journey we might each be able to make with RB. However, I do acknowledge the importance of ensuring that ‘hot’ topics are handled and debated appropriately – and that we don’t have all the infrastructure for this at the moment. For example, there was a recent forum thread on homosexuality and the church – and this thread was unfortunately de-railed by constant, and in some instances highly offensive, generic attacks against Christians. Notwithstanding this setback, we are committed to the creation of the features, processes and culture that allow a controversial debate to be conducted on RedBubble – without the eruption of world war three. This is really hard to do on the Internet – because without verbal and non-verbal cues written words are easily misinterpreted. But we think it’s important. Please bear with us (and help us) as we work towards a better way of handling ‘hot’ topics. I think the next thing we’ll build is ‘moderated’ forum functionality – where selected ‘hot’ topics have every entry vetted before publication. But perhaps the most important thing we can all build is a culture that’s accepting of ‘hot’ topics. A culture where things can be debated and discussed without it becoming personal. A culture where openness is encouraged and patience is shown. A culture where we strive to respect different perspectives. Anyway – it’s midnight on my last day of ‘holidays’ and I’ve got to pack. The principal purpose of this journal entry was again to apologize for any offense caused by yesterday’s home page. As always your comments and reflections are welcome. -Peter
