You guys need to back off of Suzy - NOW! You want to bad mouth somebody, bad
mouth the pieces of shit that started all of this in the first place. Suzy
has done nothing to promote ill will. Suzy and co. were within their rights
to do what they did and were very upset and justifiably so.
On a brighter note: After discussing things with Suzy, she's agreed to let
the list continue pretty much as-is with the Bomp name. The only change I've
agreed to is a return to moderated status- which I discontinued ages ago.
Most of you didn't even realize that the list had been moderated before then
anyhow so it's no big deal. It's a necessary evil to keep shit like that
from happening again. The old rules need to be reviewed apparently.
1. Personal attacks directed at other subscribers will not be tolerated.
It's one thing to say "that band sucks"; it's another thing to say "you
think that band sucks? you're an asshole". Disagreements are fine, but they
should be limited to the topic being discussed, not the people engaged in
the discussion.
2. The above also applies to anyone responding on-list to a personal attack.
(Hockey fans can compare this to a player being penalized for joining a
fight.) Of course when one has been attacked or insulted, a natural response
is to defend oneself. Unfortunately, that usually only serves to escalate
things, and on a list of 650 or so people that's not going to serve any
purpose. Besides, about 645 people aren't really going to be that
interested. If you want to respond, please do so off-list.
3. A subscriber engaging in a personal attack will initially receive a
warning. A subsequent personal attack will result in the subscriber losing
his/her posting rights for a week. Repeated incidents will result in being
banned.
