What are the consequences of posting repeated personal attacks?
In the past, the list policy was “three strikes and you’re out.” This rule has been abandoned in an effort to discover if civility can be maintained without threats. So other than increasingly stern warnings, there are currently no other consequences enforced by the list manager.However, you can easily destroy your reputation on the list by posting repeated personal attacks, and it won’t be long before few people are reading any of your postings.Note: the above applies only to messages signed with the poster’s full, real name. Anonymous personal attacks may result in banning without warning. See 26 for more information about anonymous posting.
