Guest guest Posted October 20, 1998 Report Share Posted October 20, 1998 Greetings Advaitins: Several members have sent me Email requesting me to take prompt action when a member continued to use abusive languages and violate basic courtesy. The fundamental goal of this Spiritual Forum is to attain inner peace and every member has the responsibility to respect others and their opinions. I regret to inform you that I removed Jaldhar from the list of rs. The question, "Who is to bell the cat," arises often and someone has to do it sooner or later. I was forced to exercise my manager's privilege. Though I hate to take this action, I have to do it because it is inevitable. Effective today, this list will become a restricted list and those who want to join needs clearance from the list manager. I fully understand that this is an unnecessary bureaucracy and introduces additional constraints for enrollment. I have no excuses for failing to fulfill my responsibility as the list manager. Let me take this opportunity to thank you all for your support, cooperation and understanding. Ram Chandran, List Manager Burke, VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a list moderator myself, I understand the necessity of what you are doing and would not have minded, had I been an hour later, asking permission to join. I operate two lists, and one of them is restricted. The other may eventually have to be as well. It is unfortunate that many feel the need to join a list for the purpose of attacking others, and you have taken the only measures I am aware of which could remedy the situation.
