| Re: <nettime> Taking sides |
Hello All - Bard asked if the <nettime> community wanted him to cease and desist. My vote is yes. Not only are his politics abhorrent, he’s not here to engage in dialogue at all, from what I gleaned from his shit-postings. He’s just a typist with a broadband connection and a Tourette twitch that compels him to type “Marxist” and “Rousseauvian” every 45th and 48th word. Fuck his Charlottesville nazi-coddling and fuck him. Kudos, Ted - Peter Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 5, 2018, at 7:08 PM, tbyfield <[email protected]> wrote: > > On 6 Nov 2018, at 3:50, Ryan Griffis wrote: > >>> I take neither side at Charlottesville >> >> Need anyone say more? > > Nope. 'Charlottesville' was a neo-nazi riot in which a person was murdered. That's a good reason to take a side — against neo-nazis. To not take a side is, in effect, to condone that murder. I think it's reasonable to say that condoning murders, however indirectly, crosses a clear line on this list. For that reason, I just flipped the mod switch on Bard: his messages will be held for review. He's given us a lot to think about lately, so reviewing new ones won't be a high priority. > > This decision is mine alone — I haven't talked with Felix about it. > > Comments and criticisms are warmly welcome. > > Cheers, > Ted > # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission > # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, > # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets > # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l > # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: [email protected] > # @nettime_bot tweets mail w/ sender unless #ANON is in Subject: # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: [email protected] # @nettime_bot tweets mail w/ sender unless #ANON is in Subject:
