The final word on flaming belongs with the Big Dog, the list owner. Big Dog reserves the right to ask members engaged in flaming to take it private or to remove persons from the list who are disruptive. And since God does not own a Pentium, He won't be able to help you when it comes to the list. This list is intended to be a civil space. Femmes and Butches are expected to conduct themselves in a mannerly fashion in this space.
Respectful disagreement is encouraged.
List members are expected to act like adults. Disagreements will occur and disagreement does not necessarily constitute flaming. If there is a problem with private e-mail sent between list members, forward it to the list owner. It causes bounced mail because not everyone who will respond to you are members of the same lists you are on. Send replies to different lists individually.
