Subject: Re: academic poco lists?


I hate to say this, but will you two please cut it
out? If you insist on having your back & forth, please
do so by all means - but off-list. Your exchange is
primarily about personal attacks and backstabbings.
And I don't care your understanding of this listserv
is, but that does not even remotely relate to what
it's about.
If others are interested in that conversation, include
them off listserv. But please don't put everyone
through it - it's getting rather old, annoying as
hell, and to be frank: disrespectful of all who've
asked, again and again, that such conversations be
restrained.
And please don't read too much into this. I am not
trying to sound elitist, oppressive, imperialist,
blablabla. I'm simply asking for basic respect for
others.
