HAT:   ADMIN

1.  No hate speak "please".

As a guidleine "hate" may include personal attacks, ad hominem attacks,
personal vilification, references to body odor, army boots, parentage etc.
Possible also intelligence (except when applied to me), height & age (excep=
t
when applied to me), and other context-irrelevant personal attributes.
(Context relevant hate is also forbidden).

References to slime oze or dirt in other than in an apposite engineering
sense is liable to fail relevant tests.

References to desires to live in more halcyon and untroubled ages may be
acceptable (even if ill conceived :-) ).


2.  Please note that "boundary pushing" for purposes of demonstration or
experiment, which MAY be justified in some contexts,  can not justifiably b=
e
allowed to spill over into other forbidden areas. (ie / eg Hate and politic=
s
are orthogonal. Each gets's treated on its merit.)

Notes:

Robust discussion trickling along the borders of politics and economics, to
make a point, or even tacking perhaps too deeply into one or other, may wel=
l
be fine enough if it has some deep point - or may not. .

However, ad hominem attack and personal abuse are completely different
matters and are also quite independently not allowed by list rules.
Unlike the present excessively vague rule re "no politics", the meaning of
"hate" at a personal level has been far better established in past
exchanges.

Note that the topic description list here:
http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
is actually the one closest to what was most recently approved by a
convocation of  PIClist admins and promulgated to list some whole ago.
The one at PICList.com is out of date. Will pursue.
