NIFL provides a great service to us through the listserv, and it does not speak well of this effort to see these "battles," if you will, on this extremely valuable resource. It is important--no--mandatory that as educators and policy makers we have an open and honest exchange in a democratic forum. But there is an implied contract between all of us to maintain a professional, and therefore useful, atmosphere. Thanks for reminding us, Miriam. Judith P.

It's not and issue of censorship: it's of keeping someone from yelling fire in a crowded theatre when there's no fire. Causing harm to a person emotionally is wrong and offensive. Let's end this discussion now and be professional, respectful, and helpful. > > Miriam Burt > Washington, DC > > -----Original Message----- > From: Meral Kara [mailto:karamera@boun.edu.tr] > Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 5:17 PM > To: Multiple recipients of list > Subject: [NIFL-ESL:8741] RE: NIFL's Policy > > > I still protest the idea of censoring the messages.
