Dear air list moderators, I just want to insert a friendly reminder that this list
comes with a set of rules that require civility. Those rules are listed here: http://aoir.org/email-list/
They include the following passage: etc
yes but some trolls are also trolling about other being trolls. hehe http://www.bodyspacesociety.eu/2012/03/24/pour-une-sociologie-du-troll/#more... sorry that research is in french but it might be worth contatcting Antonio A.

Okay, I'll go first.
I re-read the longer note I wrote to Thomas earlier, and I want to apologize for what is clearly its condescending language. It's a tone I take when I feel angry and misunderstood, and I should know by now it never helps situations. Doesn't every offensive person online perceive themselves as defending themselves in some way? Add self-righteousness to the mix, and blech.
Thomas, and anyone else who read what I wrote and felt disrespected by my tone: I am honestly sorry. As much as I still stand by what I said, I could have said it differently, because to be honest, I would have never spoken to you like that to your face.
Now...
With that said, I'd now like to ask if people have cites for literature that uses discourse analysis to suss out 'best practices' in online discussions where conflicts occur. Susan Herring or someone else, maybe?
I am awesome and so are YOU,
Terri

Dear all,
Before this becomes far more heat than fire (perhaps we are too late--shall we change the subject line to citations on research on flaming?) I just want to insert a friendly reminder that this list comes with a set of rules that require civility. Those rules are listed here: http://aoir.org/email-list/
They include the following passage:
""" Diverse opinions are welcome. The readership of air-l includes people from a wide variety of professional, disciplinary, methodological, and national traditions. List participants are expected to respect these differences. We ask that you maintain a tone of civility and use good judgment in your posts: disagreements are to be expected, but blatant rudeness, personal attacks, lack of respect, and monopolization of air-l to further one’s own agenda are not expected nor will they be tolerated. """
Each message you send goes out to just shy of 4,500 internet researchers around the world. In other words, if you wouldn't say it at an academic conference, please don't say it here. This is a good place to put on your academic pants, and play scholar. There are plenty of places online that seem far more welcoming to personal invective and passionate speechifying. If I were writing this email in those forums, I would word it much differently.
I don't intend to chill discussion, but I would prefer the discussion were a bit more chill.
Best,
Alex
