kyle set up his listserv towards the end of july 2007 after
being on this list for years. though it's convenient for
some to think this list upmanship has all been a question of
civility, kyle's free-wheeling posting style here was
certainly no model of civility; while he was on this list he
behaved at times as badly as (if not worse than) those he
(and others) accused of behaving badly. his leaving was not
about the civility of this list, but about the inability of
everyone on this list to agree. many people countered his
arguments and points of view with the same free-wheeling
style he used. some who did agree with him (while matching
his free-wheeling style) left to join his list at the same
time he did; in fact, they were posting on his new list
before kyle posted the news here that he had set up his new
list.
on july 27 the following free-wheeling exchange happened
between he and melani on his new list:
In a message dated 7/27/07 6:49:04 PM, kcassidy at asc.upenn.edu writes:
the cool thing about this software is that i can pre-ban glenn!
to which melani replied:
This will be heaven. But, I hope he doesn't know where you live.
Melani
and then on july 28, kyle announced on this list that he had
set up his new list.
one difference between kyle's list and this list: unlike
kyle's list, this list's archive can be viewed by ANYONE,
whether they are subscribed or not. the above exchange, in
fact, is archived here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg18895.html
and from there anyone can explore what kyle and others
posted over the years -- good, bad, or ugly -- and the
discussions that followed his leaving:
