[-empyre-] list etiquette

["-empyre- admin" <empyre-admin@imap.cofa.unsw.edu.au>]

over the years I have seen many vibrant lists be ripped apart by flames and
debate over issues around what is acceptable to post in the mailing list
arena... in many cases it has killed them, and while I think there is
natural life cycle for lists, I also believe that we don't need to repeat
the same patterns.

-empyre- list etiquette is based on common space practice - how would you
behave, and expect others to behave, in any public discussion space-  at a
lecture at a museum or a conference, or in a public moo space, in a vrml
multiuser space?  the same goes for online list space.

this list was set up for dialogue and debate ..it is not a forum for
personal grievances, onlist art practice, purely self promotional posts or
project /conference /show announcements.  the parameters of this list were
stated in the joining email and on the web page, and I will remove anyone
consistantly acting outside these guidelines without engaging in on list
debate -  and I have already done so on previous occasions.. eg after
receiving complaints about  someone who was purely using the list to collect
artist's email addresses to send out notices about their collection of
digital art.
