Hey Folks,
Can we please tone down some of the list emails. It seems to
me that almost every comment on the list these days is being taken
either as a personal attack or defence. I used to look forward to
getting mail from the list in my box, because there was an
engaging dialogue around issues, Now it seems that every time
someone tries to raise an issue for discussion, someone takes it
as an attack and people's claws come out. I've already heard from
a number of people off list who have said that they are a fraid to
post to the list because they're afraid of the collective wrath of
the list members. Many people on this list see it as an outlet for
their voice. If the list continues to be as nasty as it has
recently seemed people are going to leave, and the list will lose
the diversity of voices that for many of us is what has made it
valuable.
Take Care!
