[Peace-discuss] [OccupyCU] Protests:

[C. G. Estabrook]

Rachel, the only relation I have to Ya'aqov (or to you) is as part of the local anti-war movement (which I thought included Occupy, AWARE, & SF; I may have been misled) and we were discussing business appertaining thereto.

From the ridiculous to the sublime, I'm reminded of the old remark that the fall of Christianity came when it stopped being a particular way of being concerned about the world, and became instead a particular way of being concerned about the church. As a tiny bit of farce to that tragedy, has the fall of Occupy et al. come with a particular way of being concerned about email lists?

Regards, Carl

PS - We discuss the matter a bit - more I'm afraid than it deserves - on tonight's "News from Neptune" (7pm ch. 6 and 99; see <http://urbanapublictelevision.org/livestream>), the "I've Been Thrown Out Of Better Bars Than This One" edition.

> Carl, from where I'm standing, you copied peace and SF-core on your rely to Ya'aqov---both of which I can't imagine you're certain Ya'aqov is even a listmember of. That's what we call putting someone on blast and isn't reasonable. While Ya'aqov's comment wasn't private in the sense that it was sent to the entire Occupy list, it was private to that list. Ya'aqov, telling Carl your desire to end correspondence is something you could have emailed Carl directly about.

As practice, it isn't appropriate to send what is a message  to members of one listserv or conversation private to one listserv to multiple others (It is an abuse of privacy.)---similarly, once you have a question to ask someone personally or a response for one individual--make it a personal email or (and Ya'aqov, you yourself have told us how valuable this is) explain to the larger group why you're sending it to the whole list is relevant for our Occupy group.
