Karen, thanks, I'd like to echo that request and my preferences would
also be to have some standards for civility. I'd still like to have a
community managed portal with open standards, and I'm hoping the
community will get behind it - but it sounds terribly unappealing
without what you're asking for. I can't believe that it has to be an
either/or - but maybe the conditions aren't fully in place yet to make
the next step.<br>

style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Thanks for
your response, Kaliya. With
apologies to others on this list, I will make one more attempt to
clarify: my
email response to you was not about Michael. <i><span
style="font-style: italic;">This is not about Michael</span></i>. Nor
is it about whether or
not to use NVC on this list-serv, although I have found it to be a
valuable
resource. This is about my experience of your communication and a
simple
request that you refrain from engaging in personal attacks when you
communicate
here. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">I welcome
direct and frank conversations.
What I do not welcome is <i><span style="font-style: italic;">blaming,
name-calling,
and yelling</span></i>, and I don’t want to be part of a community that
condones these kinds of tactics. Quite simply, I believe that one can
have
direct and frank conversation without blaming, name-calling, or
yelling.
One can discover truth without sacrificing respect. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

to you in your efforts to
create the kind of web presence you want.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
