Spike, the lead list moderator, is watching the posts; albeit I
appreciate your post and concerns. <br><br>
To prevent any negative subject lines about the WTA, ExI has asked that
<b><u>all</u></b> thread subject lines not use any negative language re
WTA. Spike is monitoring this.<br><br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Third, I can see that some
people are using the old and recent<br>
discussions in the WTA to create tension between the ExI, the WTA
and<br>
other transhumanist associations. </blockquote><br>
The only post that I read that was intentionally written to aggravate ExI
and WTA was made by Marino Buble on WTA's list. ExI's chair Max
More responded to this calmly and cogently.<br><br>
Regarding posts on ExI's List: Jose's post was inflammatory. He did
state that he would not post again for a couple of months.
<br><br>
Harve's and Eli's posts have not been inflammatory, they have been
level-headed expressions of their thoughts and feelings.<br><br>
Regarding all other postings, Spike is very careful in watching for ad
hominem attacks and posts that are written to cause conflicts. <br><br>
Thank you for your concerns, and I will share with you that I hope people
can air their thoughts and feelings with civility and work toward solving
problems.<br><br>
Best wishes,<br>
