Charlie,
To my knowledge, we don't have a moderator. I think that maybe Roger thinks
that he is one by default because he got the list going. However, he made a
statement to the effect that he wasn't going to control the discussion.
My take on this group is that we are self moderating. I would like us to
treat each other with respect and refrain from personal attacks. Past
experience tells me that this hasn't always been the case, but we keep
trying. As for profanity, occasional profanity doesn't bother me. Sometimes,
I think it's even appropriate. But profanity used in anger in attacks on
others seems wrong to me. Again, that rule has not always been followed, but
I assume we'll keep trying with that, also.
Miriam

Subject: [blind-democracy] So what about a moderator?
Hi Blind Democracy listers,
First I want to congratulate those who got this list going
again. Second, I am curious as to what the rules of operations on this list
are? I used to be the moderator on the old list and my two rules were no
personal attacks and no inappropriate profanity. Does this list have a
moderator and/or any rules for participants? No, I am not interested in the
task, and I am not sure we really need a moderator, but I'd be interested in
what folks think.
Charlie Crawford.
