    I'm also in agreement with Roseann, Meredith and Ron. I tried to
    contact Sylvia off list and the email was returned. These emails to Ron
    are unprofessional, unnecessary and cruel. If you don't want to read
    his emails, then delete them. It's that simple. But I have enjoyed his
    contributions over the years and will continue to look forward to them.

    off our list!

    Roseann, you took the words right out of my mouth. I do not condone
    censorship and I am happy to read any pertinent, professional knowledge
    that Sylvia and/or Leslie can offer this list. But the cruel,
    childlike, anonymous emails are simply uncalled for. Mr. Huttner has
    offered loads of valuable information to this list in the past. I
    cannot say as much for Sylvia/Leslie. The AALL does have a code of
    ethics that we could all stand to read every once in a while. Although
    Sylvia, you are evidently not a member. But, regardless of membership,
    or affiliation, or geographical location there should also be a
    self-imposed code of ethics that we as professionals follow. A code
    that discourages abusive, off-list emails. Sylvia, I am happy to speak
    to you about this in person if you would please call me. As you can
    see, my contact information is below. Perhaps in your next post you
    would be so kind as to include yours. And certainly if you plan to
    attack Ronald Huttner, or anyone else in the future, at least have the
    decency to allow his/their responses to get through to you.

    Most sincerely,
    Meredith

    Dear All-

    I've been a member on this list five years, through its many high
    points and several low points- and I do agree that the current email
    harassment of Ron H, or ANY member, warrants some action by the
    list-owner.

    I would not want MY contributions, suggestions, intelligence nor my
    country repeatedly insulted or trash-talked by anyone, let alone an
    anonymous e-tyrant with a false sense of entitlement to verbally abuse
    other members at will. There is no justifications for behaving like a
    school-yard bully.

    I do not think this Sylvia person should be allowed the privilege of
    further membership in Law-Lib. I think, like pornography, we all know
    what e-verbal abuse looks like when we see it, and this is a clear case.

    In the spirit of Thanksgiving, lets end this nonsense and act like the
    professionals we are supposed to be. We ARE in the business of service
    and conflict resolution, aren't we?

    My opinion only.
