I received numerous criticisms of a recent posting. All of them arrived as private mail, not addressed to the list. Each was a dispute of a minor point of retoric not related to the content of the message or the role of the GNU project. I posted each of my responses to the list, because I recognize this kind of badgering as a tactic used on the gnu-misc-discuss mailing list to badger people. I had expressly forbidden this tactic in an early charter of the info-gnu-msdos mailing list charter. I regret that I later edited those details. I suspect that there are numerous would-be contributors that fear to share their comments because of these tactics. I do not believe that the assault on my conduct had anything to do with sexism, but was primarily a form of harrassment of GNU contributors. -David- # david@wubios.wustl.edu ^ David J.
