[P2P-F] Fwd: P2P-Foundation Digest, Vol 44, Issue 43

Wed Aug 20 21:53:30 CEST 2014

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.
