In my view, Willi's unfunded accusation and slander of David Bollier, a leading light of the commons movement, is sufficient reason to block him from this list. george On Wed, Aug 20, 2014 at 8:53 PM, Kevin Flanagan <[email protected]> wrote:
Yes James Burke and I are the list moderators.
This mailing list is managed on behalf of the community by the foundation to share and build knowledge and experience and to support those that wish to make concrete contributions working with movements for the commons. David Bollier is one such person.
We at the P2P Foundation pride ourselves on maintaining a pluralistic forum where diverse views can be shared, debated and discussed. Holding such a space where people feel comfortable to contribute and engage in a constructive manner has to date required little or no moderation and the culture on the list has been for the most part one of mutual respect and comradery. Constructive debate and discussion is always welcome, however it must be affirmed that this is a community list and a community service. It is not acceptable for any individual to use this list as a platform for launching personal attacks against other community members.
As I have said we pride ourselves on being tolerant and the last thing we want to do is block people from the list.
Willi I do not have the time, interest or desire to engage with your provocations.
If it is the desire of the community and the management of the P2P Foundation that your are blocked from the list then I will do so.

I used to maintain a strong rule of no personal attacks on the list, but I must say I have gotten tired to be the only one reacting,
Willi, who is notorious for these kinds of attacks and false accusations, is clearly making a gratuitous accusation against our friend David Bollier, whom I know as a lifelong activist for the commons, at great personal sacrifice, and the contrary of someone who uses the commons for private personal gain.
does everyone find that normal ? do we have to the time to spend answering such provocations ?
personally, it is here that I would give a warning to Willi, and say, this is not the place for such unsupported attacks, and please abstain or you will have to leave this forum.
But for Willi, this is just been systematic practice, so the warnings have been repeated endlessly in various forums, and it has had no effect,
So I'm requesting the removal of Willi from this list, as he has been removed recently from the networked labour list, exactly for the same reason,
Kevin, as list manager, I believe this is your job?
personal defamation is not an acceptable practice on this list,
I am not going to get into a debate on this, but if any people would find it such practices normal, I would propose to disband this list and start a new one where this rule is made clear from the very beginning, avoiding endless discussions on it,

Dear friends,
i love the contributions of hartsellml. You think, David Bollier is working for the commons?
No. You see, he want to sell his books only. Try to find a free access to his writing. He use the commons resource, our discussion, our visions, our doing, our history to make a private buisness with his description.
many greetings, willi
