I am going to be blunt.<br><br>When I woke up this morning I was expecting to see a continued debate regarding the role of <a href="http://hackerspaces.org">hackerspaces.org</a> and the ways in which spaces can function together so as to avoid publicity debacles ( which I think the comments on this list define it as ) like the one that happened on boingboing yesterday. Maybe even some discussion of how we as diverse entities could breach our own uncommon differences and work together on the global stage when necessary. Instead I found my inbox stuffed with a load of nonsense and a number of poorly written and closed minded emails concerning personal politics. The simple fact is everyone on this list is very obviously not capable of treating each other with an equal measure of respect.<br>
<br>That being said, I'd suggest we go one step beyond 3ric's suggestion and moderate the list for content. I think everyone should have an opinion and be allowed to voice it. But no one should be given a platform to belittle anyone else or their opinions. We are not all the same and that's too great a thing to lose. <br>

</div>*** Yeah, you're right. I'm just ashamed that such emails come in. Filter<br>
out, done. Nobody's hurt. I'll just keep from feeding this up from now on,<br>
as I have better things to do. Sorry if I shocked someone.<br>
