Hi everyone, We have been receiving many emails from various users on the list complaining about the recent flames here...
Users have already left, which is quite worrying. This of course happens every now and then, and usually things are resolved creatively. But - because I am receiving loads of emails from people in the community threatening to leave, I am now forced to get involved. Below are a selection of comments emailed to me by users. I have plenty more... >Just wanted to comment that whilst I am a big supporter of open and free expression and have a pretty thick skin when it comes to ranting and flame wars (I've been through my fair share, when they use to be more common and spectacular) I think this a bad situation and causes the situation where people will start to unsubscribe from the list, which does little to strengthen the community. >Hello Marc, I love Furtherfield and you've done some excellent work through the years. The Netbehaviour list is usually brilliant, and one of the most forward thinking, open and flexible lists for media art practice to date. But, this recent swapping of insults just downgrades the list to a level of trolls throwing stones at each other. It really is not fair on everyone else. If this does not stop I will leave. >Marc! This is killing the list for everyone else, please, please, please do something about it now! In fact, the individual who wrote this email above has just unsubscribed themselves ;-( So, can we calm things down and move on? Wishing all well marc _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
