debate is all well and good, but character assassination is, obviously, uncalled for. then the debate goes out the window.
becoming the voice of reason only matters if you have some clout on the list, so those whose opinions carry greater respect should speak up. On 9/6/06, Odeluga, Ken <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
It's unfortunate that a few should occasionally spoil it for many. On the other hand, I would suggest a little perspective. Things are usually sedate, reasonable, and dare I say it, they can be on relatively rare occasions, a little boring round here. There is a happy medium - I'm not going to call it, but I'm sure there is one. You could even suggest that the solution, when this sort of things happens is *not* to unsubscribe, but rather to claim the list for one's own. Be the voice of reason or overwhelm those who sometimes go off at a negative tangent, with communications which have a positive tone.
