Subject: Old Rules..New rules

FramGov postings are going the way of worsening totalatarian control than ever.

Notice the loss of control that is happening to the FramGov list with these rules that keep changing to keep up with the chance to stop your freedom of sspeech and what you chose to read on the internet. Your mind is being made up for you by Miss Dunbrack as to what SHE deems is uncivil opinions or writings.

She basically was fair in her first post. If you link a post explain it or if it has strong opinions against which is allowed on the FramGov list, then put up a disclaimer. Now she changes the rules and bans every link in contradiction of what she just posted. The woman is losing it.

Old Fram Gov rules New rules

Snip.....

"If posters provide a link to a page with primary content that violates FramGov
civility rules, they need to include disclaimer that states that subscribers may find some material offensive because posts may include insulting
characterizations about individuals or group of peoples, including insulting
characterizations based on [fill in the appropriate characteristic]. Links to
news stories from local newspaper and television stations are exempt from
needing any such disclaimer.

Thanks,

Revised rules

From: Linda Dunbrack
Date: 7:20pm, Jul 06

Unlike most forums on the Internet, E-Democracy.Org has strict rules about
civility to which we all agreed when we joined this forum. Also, we agree to keep things related to Framingham area issues.

One of the things we also agreed to was a long-standing rule prior to coming to e-democracy: not re-posting someone else's post to any other public forum or
web page without their express permission. This rule has been violated lately.
When coupled with the following elements: 1) derogatory comments made about
other posters and religious and ethnic groups based specifically ion their posts to FramGov, and 2) posting a link to those comments, the effect was to
circumvent list civility rules.

So, let's be clear. You cannot post a link to your own commentary on FramGov
posts if the commentary violates list civility rules. You cannot post a link to another subscriber's commentary. (or that of a suspended subscriber) where the
commentary does not meet civility guidelines. It will be considered a violation'

If anyone has any questions about the forum rules or management, drop me a note
off-list.

Thanks for your understanding.

Linda
