I too am a not-yet-member, who is considering SYNHAK as a place to spend some time, meet some new people, learn some new skills, and work on my pet projects. I fully support the goal of respecting and being excellent to all regardless of the differences in how we choose to live out our personal lives. Therefore I would like to request two things. First that we add religious preference to the list of things we strive to respect about each other. Second that we remove the attempt at humor on the sales rack calling it a god.
V/R Tim Seeley From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of alex kot Sent: Friday, November 15, 2013 5:47 AM To: SYN/HAK discussion list Subject: Re: [SH-Discuss] New mailing list: power-racing-series Thanks Torrie, Philip, and Xander for your input. Just to elaborate more onto this. Syn/Hak is a community for open minded individuals. The space does not condone to judging sexual preference, race, gender, and disabilities. By chance this was just one of those internet references that was not in context of judging someones sexual preference, be leery that everyone may not get those references. Try to be politically correct and most importantly respectful of other people, after all this is a public email listing.

As another non-heteronormative member of the LGBT community, I deal with bigoted crap enough day to day. I don't need to deal with it in the organization I love so dearly. I think actions like this are the only way to show that this type of bigotry is unacceptable. I'm delighted to be part of an organization that feels the same way (although I am in no way surprised by this. I think very highly of the people involved in SYN/HAK.) -Xander On Thu, Nov 14, 2013 at 9:20 PM, Philip P.

Homophobic slurs are unwanted, unnecessary, embarrassing, and totally devoid of substance. Even one as silly as the one in BL's email reply - is out of place in our civilized society. Comments like that have no place in the organization and must be suppressed with prejudice immediately. I hope that the members of SYNHAK will agree with Torrie and support her.

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Hello, friend. It seems that you have tried to introduce a smidgen of immature humor into a public mailing list. As a non-heteronormative member of the LGBT community, I must say that I am disgusted with your behavior. Thoroughly disgusted, in fact. I will admit this: SYNHAK is essentially a very large community of technical children who somehow managed to pull together enough collaborative effort to give birth to something wonderful in the City of Invention. Irrespective of that, we give each other the full respect that each of us is due. Using "gay" in such a manner shows a disappointing lack of respect from you. As Champion of SYNHAK, it is my duty to ensure that SYNHAK is constantly moving in a direction in accordance with our mission statement, which I've included here from our bylaws for reference: SYN/HAK provides an environment for people to educate, create, and share amongst themselves and others within the domains of technology, art and science. -- http://static.synhak.org/documents/latex/bylaws.pdf It is my belief that in order to secure such an environment, upholding the first rule of the space is of utmost important. Again, i've included it here for reference: 1. Be excellent to each other. -- http://static.synhak.org/documents/latex/space-rules.pdf With the powers vested in me as documented through our bylaws and given to me through my re-election to the position of SYNHAK Champion by the membership of this community, I hereby declare that you were not acting in accordance with our mission statement. That is to say, you are not acting Excellent. I recommend that you cease this behavior immediately. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Do not send another mail to this community or further action will be taken to exclude you and your behavior from it. > > On Thu, Nov 14, 2013 at 11:59 AM, codex codices > <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > I tried to subscribe and it says that I must enter a valid email address. > > Its the same address I use for the other mailing lists. > > > > On Wed, Nov 13, 2013 at 8:18 PM, Torrie Fischer <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>wrote: > >> Howdy, all. > >> > >> At the request of Devin, I've created a new list: > >> > >> [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> > >> > >> Subscribe here: https://synhak.org/mailman/listinfo/power-racing-series > >> > >> It is intended for use in facilitating discussions about the power wheel > >> racing series project, aka the big pink Power Wheels car and nearby > >> tractor > >> chassis in the front of the space.
