Some people are disturbed by the moderation of the group. They want a more free and easy appoach.
Our Jewish Groups are not run that way.
True, some of these Jewish groups, such as Einfal, Siyyata, Tisha Kabin, and The Other Shul all have more casual discussion than the Translation group. However, they will not turn into communities like others on the Internet. Our groups can be both businesslike and friendly at the same time.
You might want to compare these groups to a well-run business meeting. The participants may be the best of friends, but a good chairman keeps everybody talking about the right things. He discourages irrelevant statements and gets everybody back home as soon as possible.
The participants might not be able to talk about their own private affairs during the meeting, no matter how interesting they may be, but most people appreciates the efficiency of the meeting.
