OT: tension on TECHWR-L

["Swallow, William" <WSwallow -at- courion -dot- com>]

It seems to be spreading. More now than ever, I've been seeing list members
misunderstanding and going off on other list members (directly and
indirectly). So what's going on? Are we all that stressed out? Or have we
all become that self-centered that it doesn't matter what other people think
about us?

This is supposed to be a professional forum for technical communicators. Can
we at least pretend to be civil and professional?

I'm sorry if this email seems uncalled for, but between on-list and off-list
messages, I've had my fill of it. This is a wonderful resource, and I'd hate
to have to sign off. Can we please try to be objective in our list
interaction?
