D. Netiquette:
1. Respectful discourse: Those who participate in the conference
represent a wide range of theological and denominational perspectives,
perhaps even including some whose interests are purely academic. Deep
religious convictions surely characterize many, perhaps most, of the
list-participants, and some of these convictions bear directly upon how the
Biblical text is to be understood. At the core of our discussion, however,
is not what our convictions are but what the Greek text may legitimately be
understood to mean. If discussion of this nature is to succeed, proper
respect and courtesy to other list members is important. While scholarly
debate, including disagreement, is encouraged as a goal of this conference,
attacks upon the character, intelligence, or faith of those participating
are not acceptable. Criticism must focus upon the arguments of others; it
may not be directed to the individual. Those who violate this policy will
be contacted politely by the B-Greek staff and requested to conform to
these guidelines. Those who continue to violate the policy will no longer
be welcome in the conference.

I deeply regret that I did not immediately call attention to the
violation of list Netiquette in the comment which I cite from a post a
week ago today. Members need to understand that this is a prima facie
violation of B-Greek Netiquette and why; although the comment is not
directed against an individual, it is perhaps the worse in that it's
directed at a whole group. Continued violations of this policy will be
met with removal from the list membership.
