moderation quagmire

2002-10-25 by kumpy105

Hello all OT people,

After this email I am officially quitting this conversation. I value 
being able to use the LUG and all it's accosiated lists and don't 
want to be banned.

I've suggested to Jeremy the follwing:

setup an OT-DAW list

Divert non music, or music study/theory related posts here, 
where the terminology makes sense, L-OT (completely) 

the messages that have to do with other software, hardware not 
made by emagic, etc... music DAW related, can go to the new 
OT-DAW list. 

I think that's a good comprimise. Maybe you could add that 
option to the poll, Jeremy, to be fair and not one sided. I just wish 
you, Jeremy, had thought of it sooner and not made so much out 
of the moderation thing. It really did seem one sided on your part. 
The admins should be like invisible angels who do what's best 
for us without riling us, and therefore alienating themselves. 
Taking sides from admins is asking for trouble IMHO. 

The only reason some of us got pissed off at Jeremy, IMHO, is 
because our free speech was being threatened, deleted and 
censored. That is just about the most offensive thing you can do 
to someone who is in the middle of expressing themselves 
politically. Some people who didn't want to read the political 
messages complained. Fair enough. That deserves to be 
addressed. If the complainers had been accommodated 
immediately and quietly in the background, with gentle authority, 
we would have never missed a beat in our political discussion 
and, I believe it would have had less impact on our discourse 
here.

I've said enough,
teddybut
