Glo/Moderated lists

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

My 2 cents' worth...

 

Haven't followed this thread too much, but I have read a few, including

some of Glo's posts, and some of Angelique's. Angelique posted everything

with a certain smile and softness. Perhaps intense and dramatic topics,

and perhaps off the list-topic, but in a light-hearted way, from the posts

I read. Maybe I missed some posts, but it seems that Angelique has

complied pretty well with the guidelines once we started to bring them up

for air. And it seems she has not argued to change or alter the guidelines

so that they would allow what she likes to write about. It seems that she

knows how big the Net is!

 

I think Glo, as representing the list owner Harsha, has been doing a very

good and thoughtful job moderating. There are list guidelines, every list

has them, some more clear than 's guidelines, and some less.

And Glo is giving about as clear an articulation of these guidelines as can

be done. And this with a kindliness and openness to further discussion

on-list, off-list and in any way that can make the list function

harmoniously according to its guidelines. I am glad to have Glo as a

hard-working moderator!

 

Glo has wisely acknowledged that it's about posts, not people.

 

In spiritual terms, freedom is

the non-resisting unforced isness

of what-is. It is that what appears

isn't prevented from appearing,

and what does not appear

isn't forced to appear.

 

In very un-spiritual terms, freedom on the net is the ability to create

lists, set up guidelines and go with them, or not. And to ask others to go

with them as well. I think Bruce-ji and Dan-ji and Gloria-ji have said

similar things already!

 

Love to all,

 

Greg
