    Contributions and Comments to our Blog: Some Clarifications

    Dear Community of the Complexity and Social Network Blog,

    Thank you very much to all of you who have tried to raise and drive this blog with your contributions and comments. We very much appreciate your efforts. It is important for us to build a strong community to make this blog an effective forum for discussions on "Complexity and Social Networks".

    However, we feel that there is a need to send out a short message regarding the "rules and regulations" for the blog. In the past days we received quite a few comments on our blog entries regarding the latest developments in Europe and the Middle East (Click here for the link), which we unfortunately were not able to publish. We found the comments clearly politically and ideollogically motivated and did not refer to the blog's underlying theme (Complexity and Social Networks).

    Our goal with this blog is NOT to facilitate discussions about more or less political issues. In our blog we want to disucss academic theories of "complexity and social networks", their application in the real world, and related research methodologies. In our latest blog entry for instance, we tried to apply an academic framework in a real life setting. In doing so, we attempted to facilitate a scholarly discussion on the effects of network structure on (organizational/institutioal) influence. Therefore, our blog does not provide a forum for discussion of political or religious issues. We think there are many other and probably much better places out there (on the internet) to do that.

    Along these lines, we would like to thank you once again for your contributions, but please be aware of the fact that we cannot publish your posts when they become either too "political" or are not linked to the overall focus of this blog.

    Regards,

    Your PNG Blogging Team
