Since Robert forwarded his “private” email to me to the list, it’s
only reasonable for me to forward my private response to him as well.

Subject: RE: [At-Large] FW: Information onrespectful communication
I asked the ombudsman for information, and passed it on. It has
nothing to do with freedom of speech except in the freedom of individuals to
participate in discussion without feeling that they will be attacked
personally, libeled, threatened or just made to feel uncomfortable with
expressing themselves.
I haven’t made any referral to the ombudsman, and if I were to,
then I would do it in my personal capacity, and as Ombudsman contacts are
confidential, I certainly wouldn’t need to discuss it with the ALAC or anyone.
I do not do things on whims and I resent the implication.
This is something that has been in process for a LONG time, I’ve
sent emails asking for a higher class of communication, people have emailed me,
people have told me in confidence that they are turned off and not
participating because of this exact kind of email that you are sending
here. This is an additional step in the same process. Other people are
talking to the Ombudsman about this ALREADY. I am trying to prevent this
reaching to the stage of formal investigations, by providing information
to the group that might assist in building respectful communication. Seems as
if you didn’t bother to read it.

Huh !
Either don't understand your email, or am so surprised that
as outgoing chair you would take such an action. To be hones, after a productive
and team building day yesterday - you take this bombshell and drop
this on us. i'm frankly shocked ...
I am assuming correctly that differences of opinion are such
that you - in your own personal capacity - are asking the ombudsman
to pass a judgement on individuals in at-large that are exercising their
freedom of speech?
An action such as a referral should be done in consultation
with the ALAC, and not done on your whim. Please seek the support of your
peers, to take such drastic steps.
Might I suggest that - instead - you seek the input of the
alac, and see if indeed we concur with your course of action.
If obtain support, fine. If not, then no course of action - should be
obtain.
In summary - I think I speak for many of those on the
ALAC in saying, please seeking clarify your proposed actions. Personally, I
think they are most inappropriate.
regards,
Robert

Dear all
As so many of the postings to this list are so disrespectful I
have asked the Ombudsman for his input informally, before he gets brought into
it formally by people who this has affected negatively. He has offered the
following. Please read and attempt to follow some of the suggestions in
the documents he has sent, so we can all work productively.
