dear Gordon, it would be better to try to keep a more civil tone, even if you and others have been subjected to character assasination and disinformation campaigns and feel justififiably angry.
For example, instead of writing "xabier is a totally unprincipled liar', you could factually say, 'Xabier's charges are untrue', and just give a rundown of the facts from p2p-es, I think I understood that xabier tried to join this list but was unable too ? my understanding is this list is based on self-registration. Thanks for anyone who can help. we've really tried over the years to keep a civil tone here, though I profoundly disgagree with the technique of character assasination and disinformation that was so generic to the flok mgt style, I want to re-iterate that we did not purposefully exclude anyone from joining the list here, of course, such practices have no place in p2p culture and a list such as here, which is why it is so important not to emulate here but let's keep it here to facts and arguments, and avoid direct personal attacks, Michel -- *Please note an intrusion wiped out my inbox on February 8; I have no record of previous communication, proposals, etc ..* P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net <http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation>Updates: http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens #82 on the (En)Rich list: http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/
