To publish the content of an email otherwise is to be petty and uncivil. IMO, there is presumed to be a reason why such communication is taken to the email channels and not posted as a comment on a blog. The two types of communication are qualitatively different. Blogging something is definitely a public act and emailing something is definitely a private act.<BR/><BR/>As a result of finding out that certain people don't respect that distinction, I'll further tighten up my already tight emailing policies. The effect will be to further stifle private communications between me and anyone I meet on a blog. I will also not contribute to any blog that allows the public posting of private emails without consent of all who are parties to the email.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065791.post-57574974604861517452007-04-02T20:02:00.000-06:002007-04-02T20:02:00.000-06:00Oh, don't I wish.

One was deleted by its author. Three were deleted by admins: 1 due to posting private email content, 1 due to referring to females with as "c***s", 1 for posting a real name of one of the regulars here. Given the dross that's been in the comments, I'd say that's pretty lenient.

Instead you took unilateral, authoritarian action to delete it yourselves. That is the larger issue. You destroyed trust just as much as you claim I did.<BR/><BR/>scribe, anything you have to say to me you can say on ecfs, I came back to this site to see what was being said about me by James the first time and to ask him why he felt he had the right to delete my comments at that site.<BR/><BR/>And no, I was not talking about the masthead group of people, I was talking about 4 people who participate her the most frequently and vocally. <BR/><BR/>You may not have agreed with the decision for me to remove the link from ecfs, but since I added it to begin with it is my right to remove it. We don't take a vote or ask when we ADD a link, I certainly didn't think I needed to ask permission when I removed it. <BR/><BR/>And scribe, you asked to be removed from this site in the past before when you didn't agree with it's direction, yet still kept posting here - is there a different standard for me? <BR/><BR/>Ms_xeno, I don't know who you are, don't care and really have no interest in any further discussions with you, although you seem quite obsessed with me in this thread.

You posted the contents of a personal e-mail. The only people on this site who have the ability to delete such comments are other admins. One took up that responsibility. That should have been the end of the story after an apology was forthcoming for posting it in the first place. <BR/><BR/>And since you're so fond of saying that her e-mail was to the "group", it would have been the group's decision to post the contents then, wouldn't it have been? (Not that the group would have decided that anyway.) Perhaps you wouldn't mind it if someone in the group decided to post some of your private correspondence with the group here using that rationalization?<BR/><BR/>There is no way to justify this one. That's what this comes down to and there is no amount of arguing that's going to change that. It's done. Agree to disagree and get on with it.
