Re: [Air-l] Air-list
i agree (and i bet most listmembers agree) with Richard Forno when he says:
I agree with Jeremy...on my lists, if someone gets too far off-topic or keeps breaking the list rules, I pull them aside to warn them. If it continues, they get removed straight away -- that's the only time I exercise my "iron hand as listdad." (That has rarely happened, as most folks tend to be respectful and responsible when warned, at least on my lists.)
Rasputin and Dr. W. Reid Cornwell: both of you have a lot of interesting ideas and you certainly enjoy sharing them! instead of pooping all over this list, you should blog. david silver
I certainly agree with Jeremy, but then we were listparents for AIR-L together. With regards to blogging, Dr. Cornwell apparently does something similar. See http://bigdog.gather.com/ Dr. Cornwell has alluded to his presence there in previous postings to this list. I guees I see the general direction that Dr. Cornwell's postings take as an indirect attack on the US university system. I am not qualitified to judge the merit of Dr. Cornwell's crusade, but using AIR-L as the venue is a waste of bandwith. Which - even in the era of broadband - I think should be considered a sin against the spirit of the Internet. Best, Charlie On 9/14/06, David M Silver <dmsilver@usfca.edu> wrote:

The recent activity on the list has scotched my tendency to be lazy about filtering. I just want to re-emphasize Christian's observation: attention is like oxygen for trollers. Without it, they disappear -- migrating off to some other locale where they can find an attention-rich environment, sometimes with a few nasty last-ditch spasms of provocation. It was nice to see the list carry on, largely oblivious to the trolling, for some time on some very interesting topics. The critical mass seems to have shifted and it would be nice to see it shift back. Is anybody following Mark Burnett's latest cross-platfrom marketing extravaganza: his attempt to enlist the internet as a strategy for getting people to watch TV more closely? It's fascinating in a disconcerting way to see the combined attempts of the regulatory institutions and the cultural institutions piecing together their strategy for commodification. This from the chief "creative" director of AOL: "The game vivifies the entire value of the Web...The pop culture orientation ties in two of the biggest behaviors that drive the Web: gaming and interest in celebrities." A familiar conception of value... for what it's worth, Mark
