Frederick, I think the rule can be made less subject to interpretation, and unnecessary grief to people like Vivek, Aristo and Bernado Colaco, by simply requiring folks to state their full name and identity at the outset, i.e. when they subscribe. A fine lady such as "Elisabeth" would not have used a pseudonym, and be subjected to embarassment, backbiting and outrageous innuendo from Gilbert and other like-minded elements of the subscribership of this forum. But speaking about interpretation of rules, are the following rules being properly interpreted, or are they being re-interpreted differently from my own interpretation of them? Could you tell us whether they have ever been enforced? RULES THAT MIGHT HAVE AN INTERPRETATION DIFFERENT FROM MINE "Do not use foul, offensive or abusive language. Maintain a level of decency and respect to fellow Goanetters at all times. Flame-baits and flame-wars will be rejected. Goanet will also reject all posts which are derogatory or offensive to any group based on gender, religion, caste, class, nationality, race or other such grounds. This does not mean that Goanet disallows discussion and debate on these issues; but all discussion should be conducted in a polite, non-derogatory and non-offensive manner. Do not engage in personal attacks. This includes name-calling of any sort. Discussion should focus on the facts and ideas being discussed, and not the person posting the same. Do not post spam. Goanet treats repeated postings, commercial posts, lengthy reposts of an original email, cross posts, among other things, as spam. If you're replying to an email and quoting it, quote the minimum and delete the rest. Do not forward private emails to the list without permission from the author. Do not forward copyrighted material to the list in a manner that could lead to objections from the copyright holder." Cheers, Santosh P.S. My questions are addressed more out of curiosity than criticism of the thankless job you are doing. _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list Goanet@lists.goanet.org http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org
