[PEIRCE-L] Re: off-list

2015-12-29 Thread Sungchul Ji
Hi GaryR and list,

(I am sorry to make this off-list email public because it is related to my
decision described below.)

Since I have said just about all I wanted to say, as a
chemist-turned-theoretical cell biologists, to the PEIRCE-L list during the
past year or so, and since my posts are apparently not appreciated by most,
if not all, of the senior members of The Peirce Group, according to Gary R,
I have decided not to participate in future discussions on this list as of
this time.

If you have any questions or comments on the posts that I have written for
this list in the past, I would be happy to communicate with you off-line
any time.

Good luck in your continued inquiry of signs.

Sung

Sung, list,

Sung, because you and I have had several off-list discussions over the past
year or so about problematic aspects of your postings without much
changing, I offered an off-list warning to you, the very first I've offered
in the 5 or so years I've been moderating this list. Ben Udell, the
co-manager of peirce-l, and I have also *on-list *in the past  pointed to
practices which we and members of TPG have found problematic.

It is your decision to leave peirce-l. Good luck to you.

Best,

Gary Richmond (writing as list moderator)
