Subject: Message from 'listowner'
I have received a number of complaints about recent correspondence and
consulted the troika and the jiscmail helpline about this. On the basis
of this, I am drawing your attention to jiscmail's policies:
Acceptable use policy.
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/policy/index.htm
Ethics statement
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/policy/ethics.htm
Guidelines on etiquette
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/policy/etiquette.htm
On the basis of these I have been advised to remove the two messages
with the link to the web site with the image of Hitler from our archive
and have done this. Jiscmail has also advised me to remove anyone who
does not comply with its policies from the list.
These guidelines are there to enable freedom of speech, not to restrict
it. Can I remind you that as a result of thye tenor of recent exchanges
and the tone in which some of the more extreme views have been
expressed, other people who joined the list to express their views have
left. The purpose of this list is to discuss statistics in their wider
social and political context, but the recent exchanges have strayed a
very long way from anything to do with statistics, and the message is
that it is time to stop.
I know that people who disagree with this will not hesitate to say so,
so I hope that members who agree will also express their views.
