-Attachments cannot be processed on the list so please remember: No
attachments.
-If subscribed to the Digest , please remember to change the subject
line to what is being discussed when 'replying' to a
message so that there are no 'Re: Recoznet2-L's' in the subject line,
please also remember to delete irrelevant text copies
when replying so the length of emails is shorter. Remember also to
change the 'Reply to' for private communications.
-While all members have a dedicated aim of working for reconciliation
and justice for Aboriginal Australians, there are
bound to be many different viewpoints on how to attain these goals.
Members are encouraged to discuss and debate
vigorously but in language that respects the viewpoint and humanity of
others.
-Any personal disagreements which go outside the boundaries outlined
above, should be kept private. If any member is
found to be harassing others on the list - even privately - that member
may be asked to leave the list.
-Members are encouraged to take part in discussions and debates. If you
only feel comfortable contributing one line on
an occasional basis then, please, do contribute that. We need ideas,
education, information, inspiration as well as support
for lobbying and other activist projects.
-Although some discussion of off topic issues is encouraged please do
not post items irrelevant to the purpose of the list.
-Persistent offenders will will be removed from the list!
It seems that some people have not seen the rules for some reason so I
have posted them above. They are available on the Recoznet2 homepage and
the URL for this page is posted at the bottom of every message on the
list.
For those who want to have a consensus on the issue - there are 101
members subscribed so a consensus would have to be from a majority of
these - say 60%.
Perhaps a consensus would first have to be reached on which question to
ask.
e.g. Do you want an open forum where there are no standards of discourse
or do you support a minimum standard of no personal attacks?
If there are standards, do you think they should apply to all members or
only those we don't like?
Do you support a seeking of consensus every time someone disagrees with
the judgement of the listowner? How many would have to disagree for this
to occur? One? Five? More?
