[ga] [ADMIN] Suspension of Eric Dierker and William Walsh
The list monitor has received a number of complaints about list behaviour
over the last few days.
In general, they are concerned with William Walsh's attacks on Joop
Ternstra over IDNO, Joop Ternstra's attacks on William Walsh, Eric
Dierker's postings on all and sundry, Andy Gardner's posting of private
email, and Jeff Williams' complaints about the attacks.
The list monitor wishes to remind the members of the language of the list
rules:
- The messages must be relevant to the business of the GA
- The messages must observe a minimum of decorum, including:
1.Not indulging in personal attacks, insults or slander
2.Not using offensive language
The two bullets are given as examples of "a minimum of decorum", and are
not an exhaustive description of "decorum".
It should be quite clear by now that decorum is not the operative term for
the current debate. In particular, I point out:
Eric Dierker:
http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga/Arc06/msg00322.html
William Walsh:
http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga/Arc06/msg00316.html
Andy Garner:
http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga/Arc06/msg00270.html
(reposting of abusive material, personal attack in commentary)
I am particularly saddened by the fact that William Walsh seems to have
considered the lifting of his earlier suspension not as a warning against
his activities, but as a carte blanche to post any kind of attack on Joop's
behaviour in the IDNO that he considers relevant to the IDNO/GA debate, as
long as no single word of his many postings can be considered abusive in
and of itself.
This is neither observing decorum nor a constructive approach to getting
work done in the GA.
The list monitor, believing that this is the minimum action required,
therefore hereby suspends the posting rights of William Walsh and Eric
Dierker for 2 weeks from today.
Joop Ternstra and Andy Gardner in particular are warned that continuing the
debate in the current style is not consistent with decorum, and that
continuing the debate about interpretations of the history of the IDNO is
inconsistent with relevance to the GA.
The suspensions will end on February 26.
