So who has moderation privileges on tclug-list anyway and why do we never hear from them? With the recent shenanigans by Misters Wood and G, it would be nice to hear from the moderation staff (if indeed anyone is manning the wheelhouse) on whether or not this type of behavior is appropriate and will be tolerated. It would be one thing if Brian would publicly recognize his inappropriate behavior and state that he'll work on staying on topic. That's just not the case - he posts something blatantly inappropriate, gets called to the carpet by list members, goes silent for a few weeks or a month and the cycle continues. As much as I want to stay somewhat connected with local linux folks, it's not worth my time or mental energy to give voice to these guys. If blatant name-calling and religio-political rhetoric are to be allowed, then I'm afraid I'll be unsubscribing. If not, then great - put these two on moderation so the rest of us can get on with our normal discussions. I'm a firm believer that *any* community, whether virtual or physical, whether it's an email list, discussion forum, or Stack Exchange-type site, **requires** fairly strict adherence to the topic at hand, and zero tolerance for disrespectful behavior. If these are allowed, people that really do want to be involved just get driven away. Happy Sunday evening, all! -Erik -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
