 I wish that people drending off  10,000 messages a day were off limits to
 your list also...in China the  speed of  access is not as fast i as in the

Steve, you leave us in a very uncomfortable position. I know I value your
contributions (sparse though they are), but you have to let this issue drop.
NOW. There is no "if" about it. This goes for DHKC as well. You can have
your squabbles off-list if you want, but I'm tired of both of your postings
being little more than an attempt to force the moderation team to pick
sides. We won't. I hope we don't end up having to bounce the lot of you.

No more discussion on this issue! Stephen got his _last_ warning.

[L-I] Moderators note

2000-09-26 Thread Johannes Schneider

I have just warned Stephen, that his recent postings in reply to the DHKC
are totally inacceptable and beyond what the moderators want to see on
Leninist-International.

That's understood, but what are 'insults'? Are political characterizations as 
eg. 'liberal','centrist', 'Stalinist','Trotzkyists' insults or is it that while 
they are not in fact they can be used like this? Can anybody give a definition?

In Argentina, a very dirty speaking community to be fair, there are
lots of ugly words. I am a Jew. One of the way to call us Jews is
"ruso". which is not ilogical keeping in mind that Argentina sticks
to the _ius solis_, thus citizenship and nationality are the same
thing, and certainly were for the Migrations personnel who received
the newcomers; same reason explains why people of Arab origin are
known as "turcos"

There are many ways to say "ruso". Some of them are friendly, others
brutally insulting. In the same way, there are many inflexions, both
contextual and of speech, for words such as "negro", "tano",
"gringo", and so on. Even such a strong word as "puta" (whore) can be
at the same time insultant or admirative.

It all depends on the context and the intention. There is no rule, A.
Wosni. Your question has a single answer:  scrutinize your
submissions and kill anything that you yourself feel would be
insulting. And take the risk. Adjectives are, certainly, a dangerous
ilk of words. It is best to replace them with long sentences, with
explanations.

We ALL know what we are talking about, particularly those I am
thinking of while writing down these lines. Flame wars are smelt by
the smoke that begins to flow in the air. Whoever does not help put
things in order is, to put it simply, betraying the principles on
which L-I is founded.

And, to be honest, THIS particular moderator is beginning to be tired
of smoky woods.

El que avisa no es traidor.
