Restoring civility to this newsgroup

Legg inn av Gjest » 09 aug 2007 22:42:49

Hi all!

Let us please return to civility in this group.? Name calling is childish.?? Bullying is an elementary tactic.

We are primarily into research but lately his has been burdened by?some very strong?responses as some people posture to strut their "stuff."

Some of the people on this group have found tremendous information and placed it here for many of us to use.?

When someone posts specious data, rather than pointing out the difficient elements some people choose to attack.? Some people post 6-8 or more messages on the same topic.? With a little effort they could be condensed into fewer messages.

If you have a dispute, treat it with respect and work out the details.??

It seems to me that the list administrators could do something about this problem.??

Some of us have had errant data and have received helpful notes.??At thesame time?others have been attacked.?? Maybe this is the only way some posters can get their "kicks."
?
Looking forward to seeing cicility restored to this group.

Jim Malone

As has been pointed out before, because of the linkage between GEN-
MEDIEVAL and soc.gen.medieval the list administrators have no ability
to stop anyone from doing anything. They can try gentle (or not so
gentle) persuasion, but this too comes at a potential cost. Such
interventions are themselves disruptive, and so the potential benefit
must be weighed against the cost. In most cases, it is less
disruptive to simply kill-file the problem poster or the problem
thread.
