Guest guest Posted March 12, 2002 Report Share Posted March 12, 2002 I can't quote the exact wording for the rules of this list....but... I specifically recall there being a ban on messages on POLITICS! I must be stupid, 'cause I thought 'who was running for what' in the upcoming LPA elections is " POLITICS " ! It's as boring as Bill and ! But I suppose it is dwarf-related! Written with tongue in cheek! Katy Sinclair, Liaison Officer Little People of New Zealand katy.sinclair@...

The rule specifically states: " Messages of a purely political or religious nature, with no relationship to dwarfism or even to broader disability issues, are not allowed. " In other words, political posts with a relationship to dwarfism are absolutely allowed. So discussions about LPA politics are fine. Although I certainly agree with Dave Bradford, the lead administrator of this list, that that's no excuse to break *other* rules, such as the one prohibiting personal attacks.

I'm an avid reader of history and find it fascinating how history has fashoned the present. I'm very skeptical of major breakthroughs or controversial theories although they are fun to read. Just saw a History Channel special on the different theories about the Lincoln assassination and how some authors cherry picked letters to make it appear that there was a much larger conspiracy than there really was. The " Elvis is not dead " syndrome was alive and well even then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 I'm sorry left... but otherwise I am OK with this list... Sometimes I am intimidated by Irene... NOW WAIT... I'm NOT criticizing Irene! I want to say that sometimes when I disagree with Irene, I feel intimidated, in that I don't have the knowledge or time to research to debate effectively.... I find myself getting upset sometimes, though when I go over the emails carefully, I find that she is not rude at all. Irene is a strong debater, which is a good quality; but hard to take sometimes....Max also got me a little defensive a few emails ago; but I'm sayng that's MY problem... I feel embarassed writing this. Well, warts & all everybody..... I'm will to give us all some slack! - T > In a message dated 2/14/2005 7:22:56 AM Eastern Standard Time, > mzellen03@a... writes: > I'd be willing to own the list, see if any others would join me? > > I'm fine right here.
