[ga] [Monitor & Chair] Reminder and Final Warnings: Sims, Dierker, Field, Fleming

["List monitor and GA chair." <roessler@does-not-exist.org>]

Dear all,

during the last two days, the list climate has deteriorated  
dramatically. This is a reminder to all participants that this is a  
forum with rules:

  The following rules apply to content of messages on the GA list:
  - The messages must be relevant to the business of the GA
  - The messages must observe a minimum of decorum, including:
    - Not indulging in personal attacks, insults or slander
    - Not using offensive language
    
  - If the GA Chair or a list monitor asks for a limit to the number 
    of posts per person per day, this must be respected
    
  - The size of messages should be kept reasonable (there should be a 
    VERY good reason to send a message of more than 10 Kbytes).

(from http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/2000.GA-ga-rules.html)

We hope that we can quickly return to a GA list where all  
participants respect this set of rules and stop all personal attacks 
and insults *IMMEDIATELY*. Those people who keep disrespecting these 
rules -- a minimum of decorum -- will be put under moderation, as a  
mild form of what's suggested in the blueprint for reform.

This warning is directed in particular at the following people:

-- JOE SIMS for personal attacks ("hoping to rescue an otherwise 
   unimpressive career by finding a niche where you can be 
   perceived as the expert";"Junk like the stuff you post";
   "the real sneers here from serious people are reserved for 
   folks like you")

-- ERIC DIERKER for personal attacks ("self aggrandizing jackass") 
   and offensive language ("shitty advice")

-- JEFF FIELD for offensive personal attacks ("arrogant asshole")

-- JIM FLEMING for breaking the posting limit (Jim Fleming has
   recently received warnings for off-topic postings; this is
   the last warning)

Please don't reply to this message.  Thank you!
