I received this message from an active FWer. And I am adding my own plea to FWers below. ======================== Arthur, I won't participate in the futurework list as long as racist and venomous comments continue. This kind of "talk" doesn't contribute anything to the list but bile. ========================== My open plea to FWers. FW was set up to discuss the future of work but seems to go off track from time to time. The conversation soon leads to schoolyard type of talk "I said this, no you said that.you are a creep, no you are a creep". Pointless schoolyard pushing and shoving. If people want to engage in this virtual pushing and shoving please do it off list. One to one. So that others don't have to be party to what are private shoving (pissing?) matches. I have asked individual FWers to not respond to those FWers who provoke in this way (you know who you are) thinking that by shunning those who behave this way would cause them to change their ways or drift off to another list where this sort of behavior is tolerated. But for whatever reason a few (you know who you are) seem to want to pick a fight and so things heat up. Now is our chance to be a self-governing group. Let's not do or say anything virtually that we wouldn't say if we were talking face to face. I prize civility and exchange of ideas. How do other FWers feel about this? Suggestions and ideas welcome.
