Shouldn't you be striving to be informative to >this person, not just internal-list-politics nerds? i may not be serious enough, but i found the little vignette funny and i think that that sort of crap actually belongs on the moderated list too, so that the newbies and the old-net-timers are reminded that this is not an information service for the net-worriers [sic], but a messy and mixed list with people who have all sorts of twisted interests in and relations with each other, on- and off-line, some of which get expressed in fine rhetoric, others in aNt!-korPoRAT inventions. even virtual collectives only become subjects through a certain degree of self-referentiality. long live redundancy, rhythm and refrain. -a -------------|||||||||||---------------------- From: lockard@socrates.berkeley.edu Date: 2000年3月13日 22:26:44 -0800 (PST) On 2000年3月13日, Decklin Foster wrote: <....> > Thanks for your consideration. Moderators, Decklin Foster is absolutely right. This Teddy Bytown creep should be lashed in the fo'castle, thrown down to the hold, and banned from nettime's decks. A butt-biting twerp, he is. There is no room for humor on this ship, especially not Bytown's feeble insolence. Thank you, Mister Foster. You've helped nettime steer a straight course. History will be improved through your efforts.
