Re: [ga] Message from the Chair - List Rules


As can be seen through this post, the sublists need to resolve to the
ga-full and we need to be able to post only to the ga-full should we
desire.

This new round from the chairs for further censoring is disgusting, but
then no one cares!

But somewhere at sometime without a vote the chair changed the listing
rules and so now we have a completely censored list.

Re: [ga] Message from the Chair - List Rules



Kent,

My opinion is that Michael raises a matter of principle.

The question basically is:
"Is the GA-list now 'monitored' or is the GA-list unmonitored, and the 
'monitored' list provided as an additional service?'
To correctly answer this question, the details underlined by Michael are
 important.

The answer is:
"The GA-list is now 'monitored', and the 'unmonitored' list is provided 
as an additional service, with added value vs. the past of allowing 
posting from non-members (therefore, more open than before), and 
including also posts otherwise rejected (with the exception of what may 
happen for strictly technical reasons)"

Personally, I have also problems with this approach, but I feel I have 
to choose between the "perfect" theoretical solutionm and an acceptable 
"least evil" that will guarantee better participation.
In a perfect world, we should be able to deal with what you call "people
 who aspire to be disruptive assholes" without the need to invest 
resources for monitoring. But I just have to acknowledge that this world
 is not perfect.

Note that, IMHO, in a perfect world, you would need no laws, because 
people would act nicely independently from the fear of sanctions, which 
are in itself a thing that makes this world "imperfect".

Regards
Roberto
