“ ..and don't invade other people's privacy.”
In going forward in accord with Rick's original intent for protecting privacy
on FFL know that in responding [replying] to posts made on FFL an unsolicited
use of someone's legal name on FFL is an invasion of privacy as it also is
considered a violation of the yahoo-groups guidelines here. Expect to have your
writing removed from FFL. Expect to have your posts moderated. Expect to have
your membership revoked if such invasion of people's privacy continues either
as by impulse without intent or with meditated intent to abuse someone by
invasion of privacy as used in method.
For instance, as people signing on to FFL do post and people do respond with
replies then for example in reply: 'Turqb isTurqb', 'Fleetwood is Fleetwood',
'CDB is CDB', 'Serious is Serious', 'Buck is Buck', 'Nablusoss is Nablusoss',
and 'Authfriend is Authfriend'. Whatever their legal names in life may be, now
going forward you shall be moderate in this as Rick originally intended. Show
self-restraint and respect for other people's privacy here. Simple. That is
part of the communal collaboration asked for in making this a particular
free-speech zone as it was hoped for. Have a nice day, -JaiGuruYou

Thanks A., good to know. In going forward with moderation on FFL, protection
of privacy has always been a mainstay feature of FFL as Rick's free speech
list. This feature of protection has been under siege and fallen to a form of a
disrespect used by some writers on FFL. Everyone take this as a warning right
now going forward: where someone posting to the list uses an anonymous screen
name it is quite proper form on FFL as a yahoo-group to respond to posts using
a person's screen name and make no mention of their real name otherwise.

Please ignore what he says about me. He has it completely wrong.

Serious_Richard brings up in this particular thread an important point about
privacy on FFL. From the beginning Rick has been intent on creating a
safe-space of privacy for folks to post on FFL. Rick's principles in creating
safe-space have been under attack, degraded and methodically violated by some
writers here evidently to abuse or intimidate other folks personally who have
been members of the community of FFL.

Thanks for offering this, Serious. Yes I feel this is an excellent example
that you offer of precedence in how to directly moderate a list that has gone
so bad like this. I shall make note of it and emulate Rick in this as much as
possible. The yahoo-groups guidelines themselves are quite simple and require
of writers only some self-control. -JaiGuruYou!
Just for the record, I should point out that Rick banned me from the group
without sending me a single message or email explaining why. So, I appealed to
him and he reinstated my posting privileges. Apparently an informant objected
to my using their real name, although they had previously posted under their
real name. Go figure.

Sad news.
The really sad part of this is that [] has not apologized to me for over two
decades for posting my real name on a.m.t. Go figure.
But, this brings up an interesting subject. From what I've read,
has never used her real name on FFL, so I guess that everyone that ever used
her real name should be banned from the group. That would include almost
everyone currently posting. Can anyone spell cognitive dissonance?
Might I propose, before Doug starts banning people, that you and Rick insist
on a few guidelines for *him* when he does this.
I'm suggesting this because I think everyone here is aware that Doug
is...uh...not quite in touch with reality these days, and tends to see things
that aren't really there.
So what I suggest is that if he is indeed given the power to ban someone, he
cannot do so without reposting *the exact post* that Doug feels is in violation
of the Yahoo Guidelines, and without explaining to the group *exactly why* he
thinks this poster needs to be banned.
Otherwise, you know what's going to happen. Doug will just ban the people he
doesn't like, without telling *anyone*, and they'll just fall off the radar
because they can't post any more, either to complain or to defend themselves.
I think we all know that a tyrant has just been handed the keys to the
kingdom. I think we also all know what he will do with them. I'm just
suggesting a procedure that insures he can't do it in secret.
