Hi all,It seems Jeff if giving us an example. Do we consider his email
appropriate? Is this considered bullying? What should be done about it? If he
had emailed Linda privately, do we consider that the responsibility of the
moderator? Is this a good time to simply hit the "block email" button?
Obviously there are few rules for BOO so he may not be breaking any of them
here. Angela Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S8 Active, an AT&T 5G Evolution

boo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [boo] Re: Wow!! Right. It is nice to have a site
where birds can be discussed, and that is not subject to the thought control
bureau, that encourages false accusations about posters, and has no trouble
accusing a not arrested or charged person (in Georgia) with crimes of moral
turpitude. I will post bird sightings here in the future.Linda Fink - go take
a dump. I can see you are full of it.( I don’t react rudely, except to the

hung on for six years before giving up on OBOL. A number of people I know gave
up much sooner, and were quite bitter about the treatment that they received
from what Linda called the "old guard". My name for them was the "Inner
Circle". I always thought that they used OBOL as if it was their own private
list, rather than a list that is open to all bird folks. Perhaps the Inner
Circle should think about starting their own list?> > I live in California now,

I have not bothered to check OBOL for several days as I'm busy living life here
on the farm in the post-ice age times. So I had not read any of the stuff y'all
are talking about. How wonderful to hear such a reasonable discussion here on
Boo!> > I'll come down on the side of Caleb. Bullies should be removed. I've
been on OBOL since the early days when it really was just for rare bird
sightings. That is no longer necessary thanks to e-bird. And, folks, those
knowledgeable old guys are not the only ones on OBOL who are knowledgeable.
Others would speak up if the old guard took their toys and left.> > As for what
topics should be on OBOL, political discussions still need to be on BOO. I love
having that venue where I know people are interested in hearing about the
conservation issues I post there (here). > And where I can read about ones I

million thanks to moderator Theresa. What a fine and fair job you have always
done. I still hate the e-bird reports that fill up my OBOL digest but I respect
that I can scroll (and scroll and> scroll) past them eventually to get to what
I'm interested in, which is not rare bird sightings but just interesting bird
sightings, like Judy's field trip reports... I always envied having a group
like that birding together.> > What OBOL has become by letting the old guard
have their way is of very little interest to me anymore. And I hate hearing
people disparage each other. Joel is always getting into trouble with some of
the old regulars yet Joel is out there doing more for birds and conservation on
a daily basis than most anyone else on OBOL. His personality, like mine, just
ticks some people off. Theresa has a job keeping us both in line but she is
very fair.> > When I get time, I'll go back and read the OBOL digests from the
last several days and learn who the bad guys are this time around, although I
think I know. OBOL has never been welcoming to new birders and so when a new
birder comes on and gets shot down, I try to send them a private email telling
them not to let the old guard get them down. I'm sorry I was not paying
attention this time.> > Thanks to all of you who have contributed to this
discussion and especially to Theresa for bringing it up. We are so fortunate to
have her as moderator on OBOL!> > And, again, please listen to Caleb. Do not
