I'm with Kevin and Denise on this one.
This is a list about dark black music and rhythm control. With all due
respect, a single mod who makes corn music doesn't really cut in
politically.
Noi offense Eamonn but at least Denise has a langer ;-)
cheers

To me, this does not deserve celebration. However, it hopefully
serves as a call to action for all involved with this list: Open and
frank discussions are necessary and can be had with list members.
This is the closest to a private forum we have outside of sitting in a
room with a tape recorder running.

If someone still communicates with Denise, tell her she's being
unsubscribed and blocked from this E-Mail list.
She's blocked me so I can't do it myself. I can't see her Tweets
or Facebook posts either because I'm blocked, but I've had tweets
forwarded to me complaining that it's a list where old white
people tell you what you can listen to, and attacking me
specifically.
I have always given list members broad latitude as to what they
can post, I am not the tone police, as Denise has accused me of
being. I've asked her not to make ad hominem attacks. Turns out
she's not read any of my private e-mails, so sending them was a
waste of my time.
I think that reading the e-mails from the admin is a minimum
requirement for being a member of the list. If you don't like how
things are run, you can unsubscribe. You can curse me, debate me,
whatever, but you do have to pay attention to me. I promise to
contact people privately rarely.
I have always treated Denise with what I thought was a respectful
attitude. I've always credited her for doing a lot of good work in
scholarship and community activism for the Detroit music scene.
But that wasn't enough, apparently.
I wish her well in all her future endeavors, but those endeavors
will no longer include the 313 mailing list.
Going forward, I'm thinking a better way to handle people causing
trouble on the list is to 86 them early and often. Many people who
I think were equally as valuable - or more valuable - to the 313
techno music scene have unsubscribed because of her.
I'm no longer willing to allow people to hijack this list for
whatever reason. And that doesn't mean I'm going to censor anyone.
It does mean you have to play nice.
