This User, Sockrates-duo, is a Symbiosis account for users Vanja2 and Xiutwel,

We never edit using this account when one of us is absent: we always discuss together what to say. Sockrates is dedicated to mediating conflicts using the model of Nonviolent Communication, and discussing our edits at length prior to saving them helps us in our aim of communicating with greater compassion and clarity.

  • We, Vanja2 and Xiutwel pledge to use this account only when both of us are behind the computer. That means that the account is not "not associated with a particular person": it is always associated with two particular persons (at the same time).
  • Sockrates-duo is more than Xiutwel alone. It makes better sense to us to use a seperate, symbiotic acccount: because we want to bring out in the open the non-violent "directions/methods/visions" of communication.
  • This account is unlikely to edit articles, it is used for mediation purposes.
  • To further limit the possibility of misconceptions, we will adapt our signature.
  • For clarity, we will mostly speak in the I-form, in stead of the we-form, even when we're together.
  • We do not know to whom to put this request, so we just state it on our own page, so that those who decide can read it when they need to.
