Unsubbing
The "NET" is not for the squimish. Shannah's post brought
tears to my eyes ; ~ ( I have to tell ya, this kind of a first for me. I've
seen some pretty raunchy things on the "NET", from people telling other people
to get the fuck outta here, to threats of rape and sodomy and even some
interesting activities concerning the use of horses, but I can't recall ever
having anyone feel they have to leave a e-list
or newsgroup because of the lack of posts.
Yes this a flame from someone who
signed off the list, with a much better articulated
rationale, about a week ago.
I am appalled at being called names and you must be too. This
feels abusive. I am not sure I will continue to participate if the group
allows this to go on.
Any further use of derogratory language or ethnic characterization
will result in immediate and permanent removal from the list.
Sorry to post this on the general list but although I kept my
list introduction I can't find where it says to unsubscribe. Who do I direct
this query to? Can anyone help me get off? Thanks
Roy unsubscribed himself this morning apparently right after
he sent the message to the list,
There are a number of lists which automatically send a questionnaire
to those unsubscribing and they have circulated the responses. The most common
answer by far to the question of why have you unsubbed is, too much mail
and changing situations (job, ISP, moving etc.).
When I noticed that I had joined a group with the likes of Reidbord
I pretty well knew that I would not be around for long. In a matter of days
I lurked and then decided that enough was enough!
Hence the invective and ultimately the departure.
I have no interest in sitting around watching as others engage
in mutual masturbation and that is why I decided to
leave.
with all that said-and-done, i think it's neccessary for me
to depart. too much to do, not getting it done, too remiss in other stuff
I should be doing.
I was sorry to see your unsub notice. I try not to intervene
in comings and goings but I would like to encourage you to resubscribe, perhaps
at another time if it might be more suitable for you.
I'm particularly sorry to read that Elizabeth has unsubscribed.
On a personal level, I fear that my repeated efforts to draw her out, and
my criticizing her for not having done so earlier, may have been a factor
in her eventually feeling too guilty to stay.
