I've been wondering the same thing, Deb. If it were up to me I would have no
hesitation in throwing Marcel off the list for repeated, malicious, private
and totally unsolicited postings, for which he has shown no remorse or even
acknowledgement. If Marcel stays, he will just carry on doing it. Sad, but
he will. Where's the incentive to stop if you can carry on abusing people
privately (let us remember this is merely the latest, and possibly the
nastiest, of a succession of similar acts) with impunity?
And I would also add that I've seen Debra's response to Michael Paz. Should
I be condemning that too, calling for her to be kicked off the list? Well,
no, and here's why:
It seems to me to be a howl of frustration at the fact that Marcel's abuse of
her is being allowed to escape, and that Michael seems to be bending over
backwards to avoid reprimanding Marcel for his private posts. (Michael, you
and I don't know each other very well, and have never exchanged a cross word;
I still find it sad that you seem to be glossing over Marcel's conduct). In
short, I believe Debra was provoked. I know you will disagree Marcel, so
I'll take that as read.
There's also the question of the co-opting of the tragedy to further
political arguments, which as I said I'm not going to comment on.
At least Debra has the guts to post to the list and take the consequences.
