Draft Discussion List Guidlines/subscriber review

[Jo Clute]

Katherine, your email is a perfect example showing how things can be misconstrued.

I personally didn't see one single reply to any of these comments as an attack-(FYI this email is not an attack either).  I didn't even read in hostility, Robin made her comments, and so did those that followed

I saw it as ongoing dialogue...which is what happens when people try to resolve issues or basically talk about anything for that matter.  Why assume its an attack, we can also assume it wasn't.  Email doesn't do the spoken word justice.

Which coincides with TJ's comments, 100 people will probably read this email with their 100 own personl filters and expereinces. Sarcasm can be read in when the author did not intend it to be so.  We all individually need to be careful about how we interpret emails.  I know for myself that if Wayne writes something that I am unclear as to context, I just call him.  We can't call the 100 people on this list to clarify so taking to the level of seriousness and have everything go private may be an overstep.   But then again, it is very appropriate in some instances.  i will judge for myself, everyone else can judge for themselves

I think it also needs to be noted that are are twelve thousand or so people in our neighborhood NOT on this list.  When more people get on, there will be more and more emails that will be sent, more dialogue, more opinions, more everthing...This list may not be the right vehicle for everyone.  I think that should be ok,too.   Everyone is not going to happy no matter what anyone does.  Its statistically impossible.

  Hi Everyone --

  I agree that the response to Robin's comments on the propsed guidelines seemed like an attack on her right to express an opinion.  People concerned about hostility may want to send comments privately to the Board.  Their email addresses are listed at http://www.gcna.info/contact/

  BTW I found a great Website on flaming, which is what we have been experiencing on this list and what brought us to the necessity of guidelines.  It's hilarious and informative.

  Thanks,

This proposal was sent to the list for comment.  Robin sent her comments.  Now, it appears, she is being criticized for sharing those comments because (a.) she could have joined the committee but didn't and (b.) she offered comments without suggestions.  

I don't get it.
