I realize I forgot to post to this list too. Sigh /Eric
----------------------------Original message----------------------------
This note is just to let you know that I do not wish a debate to start on this
NAD-F affair. That does not mean that I endorse the behaviour of EARN-France
in this context; quite to the contrary, I am strongly opposed to this kind of
totalitarian censorship (I mean changing the list to "Send=Private" to prevent
me from mailing to it, not removing me from NAD-F, where I was listed only for
historical (FRECP11) reasons), regardless of the reasons. To avoid any
misunderstanding, I would like to say that, although the note in question was
definitely not showing any admiration or reverence to the person whose message
I was commenting on, I have written MUCH stronger notes in my life and have
not used any impolite, obscene or otherwise insulting word (like "idiot" or
"pea-brained" or anything like that).
Again, I think that it is totally useless to discuss this issue at all, since
no amount of debate will change the way in which EARN-France has acted. It is
up to each of us to decide whether or not he agrees with EARN-France - I
don't, Jose-Maria doesn't, maybe my neighbour does, there is no point in
everybody saying whether they do or not; I don't care on what side the
majority is, I don't want to be re-added to NAD-F, I don't even want to
receive any kind of apologies from EARN-France, I just want this stupid "EARN
and LISTSERV" problem to get solved as soon as possible and in a way that
allows me to be LEFT ALONE, at which time I will not even want to know what E
A R N stands for. I hope that is clear enough.
Eric
