Dear ECOFEMers:
I have already responded to joe dees in a private message, but I
also wish my actions to be evident to all list members.
In my private e-mail I explained that I have issued several warnings
to a number of ECOFEM participants regarding the multiple
breaches of protocol evident on the list. A few members now have
two warnings, and upon the third breach of protocol I will remove
the offender(s) permanently from the list.
I am not ignoring the conversation. It is being observed and
appropiate actions will be taken.

This is a public list appeal to Stephanie Richexter (sp?), the arbitrator of this
list, to note and
deal with the vicious personal attacks once again being perpetrated against me, for
no reason I ca
n divine, by Nicole. If you read the posts which I placed to which she seems to think
this qualifi
es as an answer, it can clearly be seen that none of them were racist in tone, nor
were any of the
facts I proffered in them substantially addressed, much less refuted. How could, and
why would, a
serious attempt to discuss substantive issues be at all responsible for inspiring such
venomous vit
riol? Perhaps because I dared to have, and even dared to voice, an opinion that
might not be abs
olutely contiguous with her own, even though I cannot know what hers is a priori?
Heaven Forfend;
as has been richly demonstrated time and again, that sort of impertinence in the face
of the Omnisc
ient
!
person off list, because she brings them right back on. You once said to me that if
this sort of N
icolean nastiness manifested itself again, that you would deal with it. It is now
time for this li
st to see whether you are or are not as good as your word. As to the substance of her
continuing a
ttacks; neither one of us seems to be ignorant, but which one sounds racist?
