Okay Kolb listers, this flame war has got to stop NOW.  Looking back over that last few days there have been virtually no messages about KOLBS.  Here is a quote from the List Usage Guidelines:



        "- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level..."



That's the very first rule!  But here is another rule that is perhaps the most important in my opinion:



        "- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone

         polite and respectful.  Don't make snide comments, personally attack

         other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously

         controversial issue.  This will only cause a pointless debate that

         will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing."



This whole discussion regarding Lar, Max, and Mike (sort of), totally violates both of these rules.



Guys, you all know that I like to take a very hands-off approach to running the Lists and I abhor the idea of List moderation.  I don't want to ban anyone from the List or otherwise block certain people.  We are all adults here and know what the rules are.  



Straighten up and fly right.  I do not want to see anymore flame posts or other non-constructive discussions.  This is a forum about Kolb building and flying, not a conduit for venting or picking fights.  I also thought I saw some pretty inappropriate language in a couple of posts.  I didn't look closely, but you know who you are.  Unacceptable.



Effective immediately following the complete distribution of this message, I am going to put a 5-day email posting ban on anyone that continues this flaming trend of dialog regarding Lar, Max, Mike or anyone else.  You've been warned.  Its a lot of work for me to keep track of, but I don't know how else to put the kibosh on this.



Kolb discussions, please.

Yo Matt,



Thanks!



You are the "Homer" of Email List Administrators and highly regarded  

by us all.

Thanks again for providing a quality forum for us.



PS  Is that keeping it "kolb related" enough?  :^)
