Who's being rude and the bully?  I suggested if we continually receive
out of context "information" (the context being how this information
effects museum work and not one's personal views) perhaps we should sign
off rather than have it continue.  I would say it is rude to make
personal attacks on a "professional" list.

It appears that the focus of the conversation has shifted toward the
effects on cultural institutions.  And perhaps the guidelines I place on
myself for using this listserv are too strict.

Tolerance works both ways.  That a future employer would read my
comment, take it as an insult, and I guess not hire me seems pretty
harsh.  Was your comment to advice me or to bully me?

Ill try to keep a broader opinion on how this listserv should be used. 
Since it appears no one monitors it
