To whom it may concern, I have been a member of this list for several years now. I read the traffic on a daily basis. I try to only post when I feel that I can competently address another list member’s query about the Mac & VoiceOver. However, I will confess that, as of late, I have been drawn into some of the conflict with the list’s number one problem child. While I’m not proud of my interactions with him, I do feel that some of his provocations are quite extreme & do necessitate some sort of response.
Which brings me to my point, to whit. If moderating this list has become burdensome to the people currently engaged in that office, shouldn’t other willing list members be appointed to that task? I sense from the messages posted on the list that the majority of our members are kind & considerate people, who only want to gather information & share their knowledge about the use of VoiceOver on the Mac. The majority of us do not wish to engage in controversy, the use of foul language, or vile attacks on others. While “freedom of speech” is certainly a concept I support, I do not, for one minute, believe that some of the miss-conduct seen recently on this list constitute that noble ideal. All of that being said, I urge each of the concerned, right-thinking, members of this list to join with me in requesting the owner of this list to appoint new & active moderators. I do not believe in calling for action from others. I believe in civil society & each person participating to the fullest in that concept. I offer my services as a moderator & would be glad to discuss my qualifications for such a post off list with any owner or current moderator of this list. I urge others to do the same. It is possible to reclaim the good standing of this list & move forward to continue a great tradition of the civil exchange of knowledge & mutual assistance.
