[Sigia-l] Anyone suggest a better global list?

[Paola Kathuria]

I wonder if I have been reading the same list as those who have
posted about Ziya.

I've been on the Internet since 1988 and know all too well how
some people disrupt newsgroups, mailing lists or chat rooms just
for fun; we called them flamers, trolls or (on Second Life)
griefers. To compare Ziya to these kinds of people does him a
great disservice.

I, for one, valued Ziya's posts. I found him interesting and
entertaining - sure, sometimes garrulous - but NEVER a flamer
nor a troll.

I'm sorry that people left the list because of him. But I, for one,
liked the active list with him better than a near-dead one without.

There are probably PhDs on how individuals can affect Internet
groups; nothing can be achieved by discussing the issue here
further rather than undermining the emergence of IA discussion.

I therefore respectfully request that the list isn't used any
more to discuss or blame individuals for the list's health
because it's not relevant to IA; please take it off-list.
