I manage 3 listservs, and periodically members get testy (gee does
that word come from Testosterone?). Civility and an atmosphere
that encourages discussion are hallmarks of life in
listserv-land.
Periodically I share two Web sites on my lists that were brought
to my attention by people on my lists that help provide some rules
of engagement for members of listservs.
Visit and learn:

No one under any circumstances should anyone be made to feel that
their opinions are not worth sharing. That does not encourage
list lurkers to shed their cloak and become regular posters to the
list.
The other option is to send your personal barbs off list to the
individual and as we say in the bar: take it outside.
Please, I am not lecturing, I make my fair share of sarcastic jabs
on and off list (though I am relatively new to Skunk-works) I
just like the listserv environment, it has broadened my knowledge
and enthusiasm for things I am interested in (planes).
So no one leave(!) because that leaves voids in the list's
knowledge base, and let us remain civil toward each other.
