I guess I should add, I must have missed any derogatory messages in that
thread.

Thank you Teresa for starting this discussion.
I believe OBA was completely appropriate in posting its statement.
The blowback just illustrated that the policy is right on the mark.
I think anytime someone is derogatory toward another person, the post
should be removed if possible, and further posts filtered. If it becomes a
pattern, they should be removed off the list.

BOOers,
Here are some questions for you, although you certainly don't have to
stick to these topics.
Do you think the OBOL guidelines need to be changed?
Do you think the Board violated their own policies by posting a statement
about violence against women on the birding listserv?
How should OBOL handle people who are perceived as bullying others?
How can OBOL be more friendly and welcoming?
OBA has a few hundred members, I think it's right around 300, but I don't
have the exact number. OBOL has almost 2,000, so the vast majority are not
OBA members. Do you think OBOL should be broken off from OBA and no longer
be under their umbrella?
