>I for one feel that we would all be better off if there were a "zero >tolerance" policy toward those who use this list to provoke or attack >others. I agree, but first make sure the nasty-appearing posting isn't tongue-in-cheek. It can be hard to tell. I do have a tendency to be a bit of a smartass (and can think of some long-term listees who are likewise), and wouldn't want to be banned from the list for a misinterpretation of a cheeky posting. If someone has something GENUINELY nasty to say, do it off-list. Or don't do it at all. And the emoticons ;) ;0 :-) or similar can help ensure no misunderstanding. -- Andrew Grebneff 165 Evans St, Dunedin 9001, New Zealand <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut |
