Hi Everyone
This is Bob Gardner, your friendly Il-Talk moderator, the one who’s supposed
to ride herd on you guys.
The question has come up – again – about what is right or wrong to post on
Il-Talk. There are no overriding guidelines given from above on what should
be on our list serve, so here’s what I’ve established over the years:
* posts should be blindness related. Don’t send in posts about your pets
or your favorite recipes.
* no religious or political discussion, which usually ends up in what more
accurately could be described as argument. Find another outlet for your
personal views in these areas.
* no personal attacks of others on the list, or strident attacks on their
views.
That’ about it. And of course, trying to keep everybody happy about what’s
on Il-Talk is an impossible task. Some would like nothing more than posts
about NFBI meetings, resulting in a list serve with half a dozen posts in a
month. Others like to be chatty, and enjoy exchanging info with each other
on what’s happening in their lives. When it comes to health issues, or
accomplishments, we have a long history of letting those posts go
unchallenged. Our list serve does a good job of putting “family” in
Federationist Family.
We recently had a brief debate about several articles posted to the list
serve concerning riding on the bus by blind people. I thought the little
discussion was good, and maybe got our blood flowing here on January 1,
recovery day.
Just stay loose, people. Remember, you can’t tailor Il-Talk to meet your
own self-centered idea of what it should be. Be tolerant, be kind, and live
long.
Bob
