Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

Asking that discussion list members think before posting is not, I think, unreasonable; it is not a First Amendment violation. Rather, it is a responsible action by a list owner who has received a legitimate, thoughtful complaint about excessive volume. The situation now in question bears almost no resemblance to the one when a member was unsubscribed involuntarily. Bombast, libel, name calling, and character assassination are not and should not be mistaken for debate. Debate relies on reason, logic, and evidence to persuade readers or listeners of the truth in an argument. At any rate, Monty has said that his posting was a suggestion and that no one is going to be unsubscribed for posting more than twice a day. Let's just move on and discuss the worthwhile threads already in place which generasted the spate of messages.
