[odf-discuss] Flaming (was: A bit more detailed explanation of the AFNORposition)

[Jean Hollis Weber]

marbux,
you were asked by others (not using offensive language or 
anything that I would consider "flaming") to stop repeating 
information because some of us are tired of listening to it. You 
are entitled to ignore those requests, but you are not entitled 
to be rude, offensive or personal in your responses. Contrary to 
your assertion in a recent note, YOU were the first one in this 
thread to say something personal about someone else, at which 
point I said to stop it.

YOU are the one continuing to make personal remarks, not the 
others. If you continue to do this, I will first put you on 
moderation and, if necessary, ban you from the list. Vigorous 
debate is allowed; repeating your technical assertions and 
opinions is allowed; but personal attacks are not allowed. And, I 
repeat, I have seen nothing in recent notes that I would consider 
a personal attack on you. If I did, I would say the same to the 
person who made the attack.

If you wish to debate with me whether A or B said something 
offensive about or to you, take it up with me offlist. It's bad 
enough that my time should be wasted with this level of 
behaviour, but let's not waste everyone's time.

--Jean
