FYI: Off Topic.

FYI: Off Topic.

2001-09-23 by Thomas

FYI: as my function as a co-moderator i deleted (including my own)
posts about the topic "racism and xenophobia" and "I can´t believe".

This happened in the interest of all list members, who rather want to
read about AN1x and discuss political topics some place else.

I do apologize to those who i might offend with this.

I did this to keep the peace on the list and don´t raise any further
arguments about things single person (you know who you are) posted
without thinking.

Thank you and may God bless you.

I only wish we had discussed this prior to your deleting items from the
archive. IMO, this amounts to censorship - no matter how well intended.
You can't pretend nothing happened 'in the interest of the list
members'. I hadn't even read the threads(?) in questions(?!) and it now
seems I'll no longer have the choice. Very disappointing.

If we are ever to learn anything about oursleves and how we relate to
events that transpire within the world it's best to allow people their
say. Keeping silent accomplishes nothing :-(

I assume someone posted something 'inappropriate' regarding current
events? Well, guess what - there are probably others out there who
silently *agreed* with the 1st opinion only now you won't have
opportunity to find who they are and why they feel this way?!

If someone is 'mature' enough to express their opinion in a public
forum then they'd better be prepared to handle the consequences - good
or bad. This mailing list, and others like it, stand or fall on our
ability to function as a community. If the membership is going to react
strongly to an inflammatory post - that's understandable - possibly
justified, maybe not - but lets at least allow people the privilege of
taking responsibilty for their actions and formulating their own
opinions. And let's not underestimate the emotional and intellectual
capacity of the list membership.

Given the state of current events it seems inevetiable that
controversary is around the corner. I hope we can address those events
in a mature and responsible manner.

Oke let's make one thing clear... I'm also a member of
a few other yahoogroups and nobody in those groups has
ever said something about what happened in amerika (it
doesn't mean that we are not interested in what
happened there of course). So please stop talking
about this RIGHT NOW and please stick to the an1x. If
you like to talk about amerika you can do that
privately

greetz Ferrie, and please do NOT respond to this
message. And if you want to respond, do this privately
to me, thanks

I'm outta here, see ya

2001-09-24 by Tom Eales

YEP, just wanted to say that I am unsubscribing from this group, not because it isn't useful, but because there are a few people who seem to see the group as an opportunity to talk bollocks about shit that is completely irrelevant to the subject AN1X,
I only check my e-mail every day or two, and if I have 25 unread AN1X messages, half of which are crap jokes from P... (you should know who you are) , then I think I'd rather just leave it. My account is not big enough to handle that much irrelevant stuff, I'll check back, maybe one day people will start talking about relevant stuff again.
Cheers Guys, some of the sounds from the downloads page were wicked
See ya,
Tom

There is still the option for you to read postings online at
groups.yahoo.com/group/AN1x-list. In this way you can avoid OT-
postings.
