Guest guest Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 I still drink from glasses, bottles, cans...just not alcohol. I still eat...just not refined carbs. I can't think of anything I do like cigarettes. I DO drink diet colas now and then...some caffiene there. Judging by the number of private emails I have received agreeing with and/or supporting my viewpoint, people are afraid to let their thoughts be known here. Flaming? NAAAWWW???

If you're not sure what flaming is, I could direct you to some other groups that have it down pat! Even I tread softly on some of those groups. I will note that I often post to people privately, and it has nothing to do with being afraid, and everything to do with being polite, germaine, and thoughtful. But for everyone who is too " afraid " to post publicly - y'all can always write to me privately too Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 Kate, > > I commend you for posting privately. I got admit....I'm a little confused here. A couple of weeks ago someone posted stating that they didn't want " private " e-mails....that they post here because it is a " public " forum and they were offended to get private e-mails and thought that everything should stay on the board!! And then several others agreed with them. Personally I am very nervous (for the most part) about e-mailing people privately. Are there any set " rules " for this?? Thanks, P.

While you can't control what folks do offlist, some lists have a rule that if you start spamming or flaming another list member offlist, and the offended party provides proof of this to the list moderator, that the spammer/flamer is removed from the list -- usually there will be a warning, and if the behavior continues, the offender is banned. This is pretty extreme, but it becomes necessary from time to time. I moderated a list where one member was continually sending offensive, sometimes pornographic email to other members of the list, and I had to ban him, as well as report him to his ISP. And of course, anyone who doesn't want to receive private emails from someone can set filters that only certain email comes through -- I block addresses all the time when there is a need. There is always that button off to the right, too. ~~ Lyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 Well this is good I must have misread the person's post......I thought they were stating that they had a " right " to not receive private e-mails because it originated from a public forum.......sorry for the confusion............THANKS, P.
