You're right that my post was generalizing my own perceptions and assuming a kind of monolithic organisational agreement on readers' part before really establishing a definite argument. From my side of the computer screen the air-l group assessment seems to be that no general (if that is what totalizing means in this case) decision on the part of aoir membership neaeds to be established as basic policy. Or the basic polciy already exists that malicious trolling is considered inappropriate & flaming if it gets out of hand will bring exec warnings and possibly exclusion from listserv. I think gettning any ore specific than that would be unwarranted totalizing,actually. My general and lurkerish dos centavos fwiw :) wrb William Bain PhD Student Comparative Literature Department of Spanish Philology Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona --------------------------------- You snooze, you lose.

Will, the matter may not warrant an extended discussion, but your message below deals with "malicious trolling," and "flaming," and I would certainly agree that those behaviors would warrant warnings and possible exclusion. Your proposal that we move on, however, was that "we" move on and leave behind a discussion of these matters: that is, if we had agreed your post below and this response would be out of order, since we are continuing the discussion.
