Re: WTH is Going On? WAS: TechCommPros mailing list

It was rash to jump to judgement without the whole story, for that I would 
like to apologise, and it would seem the whole story will continue to be 
unavailable to the general TECHWR-L public and open only to those 
inquisitive enough to dig for it privately. In the mean time, I still 
believe the members of a community have an interest, regardless of 
ownership, in how their community is run.

If what is being said by some is true, I might be on board with those 
wanting a different list under different management. But if the truth is 
unavailable and the responses are it's none of our business, what to do?

The public airing of some of the details/accusations, as well as the 
inflammatory accusations in my rant, have been wrong. But the airing of 
some of the details is required. I've been forwarded an explanation from 
Lisa Bronson that seems to me to be professional, to the point, and 
non-inflamatory. It is beyond me why the e-mail could not have been posted 
publically either here or on TCP. Based on that e-mail, I owe Lisa Bronson 
my wholehearted apologies.

While my response/reaction has been clouded by other stresses, and perhaps 
for that reason I have overreacted.  I'm deceived that people and the 
resource I respected seem to have come to what they have.

I've now found out that I need to reduce my dependance on TECHWR-L for 
technical communication information. The reported censorship and 
moderating of TECHWR-L, the fact that many of those that I enjoyed reading 
and respected the most have been the target of that moderation have jumped 
ship already, makes me unsure about continued participation.

I think I'll take a step back and refrain from participating for a while. 
It's natural in the life of a list for evolution and change to occur. It's 
time for me to evaluate as well.

Peace,

Eric L. Dunn
Senior Technical Writer
