I'm really looking forward to checking out those links from the first two emails. Thanks to Andrew and Denise for sharing. Are there any particular favourites from those who have got into them?
Sjoerd it seems absolutely WILD to me that you can ostensibly say 'keep politics out of dance music' (I quote "The last time I've seen talk about techno music .. well, I can't remember the last time (techno) music", "Social Justice Bandwagon"). You also speak about racism against white people because someone said "whitesplaining" - really, now, at a time LIKE THIS you're making that an issue?! You then sign out "Stay UR", pfffff. It looks a certain way. I feel somewhat uneasy that, on a Detroit Techno list, people are more willing to chip on Denise's tone. It would probably be better if people managed to find Denise's well meaning posts less offensive, or simply ignored them. There are certainly those who find offense way beyond measure. Then the flame war starts. Every time one of these arguments breaks out the blame is laid by many at her door, often unfairly. These arguments take up way too much space on the list. There is little good will between the main participants. Subscribers leave. I'm not really sure if I have much more to add, that's how it looks to me, and I would prefer if my minimal list contributions were not exclusively for the flame war. If it continues please can we maintain perspective: there are many more important things going on at the moment.
