|I haven't followed the details but
|
|(a) I don't think the image of Hitler is relevant. (Who else's
|image would impinge similarly?)
|
|(b) I appreciate the work that Alison does.
|
|(c) My prejudice is generally to let speech flow, however
|boring or drivelly some people may find it. (A quick finger on
|the 'Delete' key is a great timesaver I find - although
|admittedly it is often a decision to "Look the other way", and
|one is reminded of the dictum from (?? - probably some
|right-wing patriarchal bastard) "In order for evil to
|flourish, the only thing necessary is for good men to look the
|other way".

|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.
