A gathering place for politically moderate or middle of the road people, which is not to say those who base their views on a poll of those around them. Conspiracy theorists and members of the far left or far right who attempt to co-opt the concept of centrism will not be greeted gently. Eg. Barack Obama is not a Centrist. Support for the practice of indefinite detention without charge is an extreme position.

The centrism of this group will tend to lean slightly to the right, but not so far to the right as to accommodate those who love the idea of torturing confessions out of criminal suspects. This is a group for people who understand the words &amp;quot;behave yourself&amp;quot; and know that it isn&#039;t synonymous with &amp;quot;mind your place&amp;quot;; ethical rationalism that remembers what traditional, normative Western values were, and has no patience with the faddish replacements that have followed.

Photos should bear some connection to the discussions in the forum in which one has participated. Personal squabbles and drama are to be taken over to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/groups/centrists/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;the Angry Centrists group&lt;/a&gt;. Material which is not safe for general audiences (eg. abortion shots, photos showing freshly injured victims of police brutality or gang violence) should not be posted here; that&#039;s what &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/groups/centrism/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;the Explicitly Centrist group&lt;/a&gt; is for. Those wishing to follow this group may do so through Twitter by subscribing to &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://twitter.com/_centrists_&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Chill Session&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;br /&gt;
So far I&#039;ve posted that note exactly once, because I&#039;ve invited exactly one photo to the pool. At 4:42 am my time, I&#039;m eager to get to bed, and I&#039;m not sure of where to start. How does one find centrists on Flickr?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don&#039;t know.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Hi. I&#039;ve just invited this photo to the pool for Centrists because it looked like it might be of interest to whoever ends up joining the group, eventually. That having been said, I don&#039;t know what your own politics are, so if you&#039;re definitely liberal or definitely conservative, and experienced this invite as an intrusion, sorry about that. I hope no serious offense was given.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s just that finding people on Flickr with a specific interest or ideological stance has become enormously difficult on Flickr, so I have to make a few guesses, and a lot of them will be totally wrong. Laughably wrong, sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sure enough - within seconds of the previous post, the feed had appeared. Just seconds before the post, the feed was empty, so the above guess seems to be a good one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Still nothing in the feed for the discussion section for this group. Let&#039;s see if this helps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For those who are confused - Flickr has a lingering bug that has kept feeds from appearing until a certain number of items have been in it. In the past, I&#039;ve only seen this affect the pools of the groups in question, but it&#039;s not too much of a stretch to wonder if something similar is happening tonight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
No real relevance to Centrism, I&#039;m just putting them into the pool to get the feed running. No, you should not do likewise. The feed is going, now, and I don&#039;t intend to see this group become a photo dump and yes, do as I say and not as I do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
