I know some people are concerned that this is
censorship, and is
blocking an avenue of appeal. If people are really worried about that,
we could create another list where we try to sort the wheat from the
chaff and talk down from the ledge people who are upset, legitimately or
not. Something between an ombudsman, a help desk, and a therapist. I'd
rather not see that traffic on this list, but I'm glad to serve on that
other list.
There's always unblock-en-l. As is probably the case with all of these
lists, it's too easy for frequent respondents and readers on that list,
myself included, to become jaded, so a little outside input and oversight
would probably be welcome, in my opinion.
Most of the requests on there are pretty obvious, but some aren't.
Just to follow up on this, I've been reading unblock-en-l for a month or
so. My main impression is that it is a grinding and thankless job, and
that the people working on it maintain an admirably fresh and polite
tone with the bulk of the requests.
If I have more detailed suggestions or comments, where's the best place
to discuss that?
Thanks,
Willliam
