NNSquad - Network Neutrality Squad
[ NNSquad ] Moderation policies on this list moving forward
OK boys and girls. Listen now and listen well. We are dealing with critical issues here. We don't have time for childish crap. Robb has been driven off the list and I'll do my best to get him back. I have in the past avoided sending out some of the more outrageous messages that I receive in the input queue, due to a perhaps misguided desire to protect certain people from themselves. That policy no longer applies. Submit bizarre or outrageous material, and if I feel that it usefully illuminates the mental states of significant players in this drama I will feel free to send it out. Not referring to anyone in particular, I won't ban people from the list merely for being obnoxious and/or infantile in their communications. All points of view will be respected. Threats perceived as serious will henceforth be reported to the appropriate authorities, whether received in list mail or private mail. I will no longer tolerate from *anyone* antics that are even unacceptable at kindergarten. Please don't make me angry. As a famous character has said, you won't like me when I'm angry. And if you thought that my moderation policy was tough before, baby you ain't seen anything yet. I do all this because I care about the issues. I don't make any money from keeping this project going -- exactly the opposite to my own serious financial detriment. But these issues will impact the future of the Internet and ultimately in one way or another everyone on this planet, and we need to all treat them with the gravitas that they deserve. I hope that you had a pleasant Labor Day holiday. Mine has been just *loads* of fun today. --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator
