Folks, let us be adults here. We all have our own opinions about a lot of things. And, just to say that a person doesn't have the right to say that they don't feel a need for a certain product is not life shattering. And, if a person wants respect then they need to be sure that they are showing respect to others on the list.
If a different moderator is needed, or if there is again a need for a group of more than one moderator to make decisions on the rules for the list and how it is managed then let those who wish to work daily to make this list better let it be known that they wish to help make this a better list for all. But, for better or worse there are times on any mailinglist that some folks want to act like children. So, then the moderators need to have rules in place that clearly determine what actions will cause a person to be put on monitoring, and if the actions continue they will be removed from the list. And, once the rules are made the moderators need to stick to the rules so that everyone knows what the rules are and what actions by them will cause them to be removed from the list. that -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Shawn Krasniuk Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2015 6:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: My Own Thoughts on Today's Subjects Hi all. I, like others, also say that making a new Mac Visionaries list won't solve anything. The reality of the matter is that drama follows us everywhere and if we make a whole new mailing list, we're basically running away from reality. Cara made an excellent point earlier and I'm proud that she was honest enough to come out in the open and explain herself. It's hard to lose someone you care dearly about, and I give her my sincere condolences. Now, about the certain somebody that you all keep writing about, and I know who all of you are talking about. You each may have your own reasons for why you dislike him so much, but your contempt for him over shadows what he's done for this community, and I for one appreciate what he's done. I mean, I'm like him. When I post to this list about issues or opinions, I'm hoping that my intentions are good and that somebody appreciates them without having to ask for that appreciation. And when people attack me, just like someone did last week, (you know who you are), because I gave an honest opinion about the iPhone 6 Plus and why I don't need one right now, it's like a slap in the face. It's like someone coming up to you and saying, "We don't care what you think so shut the F**K up." I mean, has this list turned into so much of a drama pool where people like me can't voice questions or opinions without getting attacked? Because if so, that's fine. I'm on other mailing lists so I'll just share my contributions and opinions with those lists because they actually care what I have to say. And my other point is simple. Cara made a really good point. I think some of us have forgotten where the delete key is on the computer. So rather than pressing that magical button, people would rather post to the list creating more traffic just to bash that person. So let me give those people something to think about before you press the reply button to bash me. If you press that reply button, you're no better than the person that offended you. End of story. I hope you all have an excellent night/morning or whatever it is you live.
