I assert that Charles Ess as the result of a private communication, by someone else, has labeled me unprofessional and unethical in the public forum.
2) This is false. My communication was posted to the public forum only by you. My communication was to the pseudonmymous Rasputin, copied to the AoIR executive committee (a closed list) and Jeremy Hunsinger.
in regards to this, the reason I was copied, i'd guess, is because I suggested to the exec that it might be good to send a note out to the list and its members about our organizational norms and list etiquette. I was previous advising them on what we had done in the past and where to find that information. In general terms, I am not addressing anyone in particular with that effort, but relaying on my experience of prior events as appropriate. As I've said before, I have no stake in this, I have tcfir.org and any of their collaborators that I've not met personally on ignore as per my previous message on this subject. I want nothing to do with them, nor do I want to be included in their discussions. I take no issue with them and want no dealings with them beyond the 'that is likely them' post that I made, which if it happens again, i'll make again. I am sure that they are all nice people, who work hard, and want the best for the world, and i know that we all make errors in judgement, action, and language. We have already discerned that we have points of agreement and disagreement. I have nothing further to say and don't want to be included in any discussions on AIR-L that deal with them. My friends and colleagues--as always--are welcome to talk to me off list. I want to talk about internet research, cultural informatics, e- learning, digital learning, political economy, making the world a better place, and anything else that I'm working on, thinking about, or generally interested in. I'll contribute to those efforts appropriately:) I'd encourage others to find their own interests and to make their contributions. Let's get back to internet research, get our work done, and get on with things in the interdisciplinary, international, collegial and open spirit of AoIR.
