There is no room for rudeness and personal attacks. If tolerated what have we become?
-----Original Message----- From: geoengineering@googlegroups.com [mailto:geoengineer...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ken Caldeira Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2009 8:34 PM To: geoengineering Subject: [geo] Re: Bogus names One of the basic premises of this group is that posts are related to climate intervention and are not ad hominem attacks on people. I think Alvia is out of line putting up a post that focusses on a particular group member rather than on information or a comment related to climate intervention. Neil Farbstein has posted responses to Alvia's message but I am going to deny the posting to avoid a flaming war. Alvia's messages are now not moderated. If he avoids further discussions of the backgrounds of individual people he will continue not to be moderated.
