Kevin S alerted me to the fact that the BOO list is not shown on the OBA
website, so he was unaware of its existence. I'll leave it up to the Board
whether or not they want to add it, but in the meantime if you know of
someone you would like to have join our discussion, let them know about it.
So far, I think we all agree that the guidelines for OBOL should include a
"no bullying" policy, BUT what one person perceives as bullying, six other
people say it's not. People get their feelings hurt and unsubscribe all the
time and no one else even seems to have noticed anything untoward. For
example, the person I said would be a good "test case" yesterday, the woman
who joined, posted twice, got her feelings hurt, and quit. Is she spreading
the word that we were unwelcoming? Were we? What should we do? How do I
(we) constantly monitor everyone's feelings and constantly determine
whether or not there was "actual" bullying?
One more thing. I don't think we are responsible for someone contacting
someone else privately, off list. We cannot monitor or take responsibility
for private conversations. Maybe some attorneys on this list could weigh in
on this.
