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
