[Harp-L] REQUIRED READING! bashing and the ensuing conversations

[owner-harp-l@xxxxxxxxxx]

Apparently low key wasn't the correct approach.  Politics are off limits
on this list.  It's not what we do.  Commenting on posts in a meta sense
is also off limits.  Your post is ok for this reason, etc.  Discussing how
the list is run is also out of bounds.  This isn't a list about running a
list.  So while I appreciate that people are supportive what I really
appreciate are the other 1500 some odd people who just went on with
business and ignored this discussion.

To reiterate,

this link is a direct reflection of my philosophy regarding running this
list.  It is assigned homework for anyone who felt the need to chime in on
this topic.  Read it understand it ask me questions if you are confused or
need clarification.

To the vast majority of subscribers who are able to post within the
guidelines of this list, I apologise.  I'm sorry I'm having to do exactly
what I'm objecting to in such a public way. I was away from the computer
for many hours today so intervention at an earlier stage was not possible.
 Thanks for being such a patient group and now let's just get back to
business as usual.  fjm harp-l-listowner
