Subject: RE: 14.0618 e-bouncer vs e-dictator?
[Taken from a private note to me; republished with permission. --WM]
Not surprised that the folks are "very determined" as they seem to be
seeking an audience! A short note is that recently in an unmoderated list
I sent a rather blunt reply to another member about reading the text and
regarding the intention of the author more closely (text was Gospel of Luke).
The moderator sent me a reply saying that I had been very rude and would be
placed on suspension for future posting of message for three months. BUT
when I apologized to the one who had posted the message, he wanted to know
what I was talking about-no offense on this part. So, sometimes it can be
a matter of perspective.
The end result seems to be that the moderated list is the best present
course of action. This list is certainly the most creative and reflective
List Serve that I subscribe to and I do think that in many ways that is the
result of your own moderation and your frequent teasing questions that prod
the rest of us to think and sometimes respond. In no way shape or form,
then, do I regard you as the e-dictator.
I am still amazed at the amount interaction with various scholarly
communities and my own sense of "connectedness" that the List Serves
provide. It certainly beats the old days of only having a printed
newsletter from time to time and the occasional face to face meeting.
Amen!
