That's what I assumed, but then feared I might be mistaken. Thanks for
clarifying.

I guess one other consideration is that I have actually been toying with
the idea of putting together some kind of presentation or paper at a future
conference that would center around challenges involved in academic
listserves, including gender dynamics and some of the other things that
have come up lately. Most likely I would focus on the other discussion
board I have been part of (Society for Theoretical and Philosophical
Psychology), but in truth the online participation and dialogue here seems
richer and I would love to draw upon XMCA as a case study, maybe even
promote dialogue between the two communities. It's interesting to observe
how these communities differ, and what ends up generating the most heat on
the listserve. For instance, over there the question of how to discuss the
election and how far we could go in naming names and airing opinions, and
what was appropriate for psychologists to venture about candidates using
psychological language, became a huge saga with multiple installments, but
over here Mike shrugged and said, "Yeah, I suppose we shouldn't talk about
X, but these are extraordinary times. Oh well." - and that was that.

But, perhaps there are issues with venturing "outside," quoting people,
appropriating for a different context, etc....I have no experience with
this sort of thing. So, if anyone has done this before or there are
important considerations aside from obvious ones of basic respect,
accuracy, academic integrity, etc., feel free to weigh in. All of this is
very hypothetical at this point, anyway.
