[anti-abuse-wg] Periodic Reminder: List Conduct

>> but we can tell you not to do it here, so please don't.
 
Well... no, i disagree.
 
Brian Nisbet, i would like to remind you, that ... You are not the Internet Police.
 
In fact, what you consider to be a rule, might not be something that every single person on this planet also considers to be a rule, and so therefore, we have no rules at all, nor is there any basis for you to impose any rules on this list such as that which you have said.
 
To enforce this rule of "no personal attacks", would require you to open you email and read it once every year. That is too much for RIPE to envisage. It's too much resources. It's something that no administrator such as you SHOULD HAVE TO DO.
 
So therefore, let us discuss, in meaningless circular fashion, similar to what you find inside an insane asylum, this idea of yours.
 
 
 
SOUND FAMILIAR, ANYONE?

Colleagues,
 
 It seems that at some point in every large list discussion I am compelled to send a mail of this type. This is not in response to any single mail, rather it is a reminder to all.
 
 Please remember to conduct yourselves well on this list, to discuss the matter at hand and not to attack the person writing the email. Most of the list discussion takes place in the appropriate manner, but I realise that when we're discussing matters about which any of us are passionate we can forget this.
 
 Ad hominem attacks, general slights, unfounded accusations, and many other things do not contribute to the list discussion. The Co-Chairs can't tell you not to send them by private mail (albeit we'd greatly prefer you didn't) nor to act in this manner in other for a (albeit we'd prefer if you didn't do that either), but we can tell you not to do it here, so please don't.
 
 Thank you all for your interest and passion for this subject.
 
 Brian
 Co-Chair, RIPE AA-WG
