style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Hi
folks,<BR>I would prefer a loosely monitored listserv where everything<BR>goes
out to the list for now. We should withhold contributions<BR>only after a
discussion in a meeting and the Coalition feels<BR>that the listserv has been
abused. We need to have as much<BR>discussion and debate over the listserv as
possible which will<BR>make our meetings more efficient and effective.
Sometimes debates<BR>are attacks on the political positions of one or more of
the<BR>participants in the debate and that is entirely appropriate.<BR>No one
should be excluded from the discussion. Those who are<BR>not conducting
themselves in a civil manner will pay the political<BR>price for their lack of
civility and in turn will be judged<BR>accordingly. If it gets too far out of
hand then we can take it up<BR>in the meeting and decide on what action to
take. The same goes<BR>for the oct29.org web site as well. I think that
this<BR>listserv will be an important tool for us as we move
forward.<BR><BR>In Solidarity,<BR>John Harris<BR><BR>-----Original

o29@massglobalaction.org<BR>Subject: [O29] new Oct. 29th coalition email
list--PLEASE READ<BR><BR><BR>Hi folks,<BR><BR>As an activist involved in the
coalition to organize an anti-war rally in<BR>Boston on October 29th, you've
been subscribed to this new email list<BR>("listserv").<BR><BR>You can send
email to this list at: o29@massglobalaction.org .<BR><BR>I will be moderating
this list for the time being. As a moderated email<BR>list, people can only
post information directly relevant to the organizing<BR>of the October 29th
rally--minutes from our meetings, announcements of our<BR>meetings, requests
for volunteers, logistical information about things like<BR>the status of our
march permits, calls for musicians, fundraising calls,<BR>etc.<BR><BR>Posts
that are simply crossposts or forwards of information that can be<BR>found
elsewhere--like the latest news from Iraq for instance, or essays<BR>about how
bad our government is--will not get sent out to the list.<BR><BR>Long-drawn
out debates that should be conducted in our regular meetings, or<BR>ad hominem
attacks on other coalition members, will not get sent out to
the<BR>list.<BR><BR>If there is sufficient demand, we can always set up an
"o29-discuss" list<BR>where people that are into it can post/read 50 news
items or arguments or<BR>flames a day to their hearts content. But for now, we
will try to make due<BR>with the one list.<BR><BR>So hope this list will be
useful for folks, and see you all at the
next<BR>meeting.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>Jason
