600.0. "is the welcome mat still out?" by CIRCUS::KOLLING (Karen, Sweetie, Holly; in Calif.) Wed Dec 16 1987 19:24

    While browsing thru old messages in mennotes, I noticed that a previous
    men-oriented conference had been deleted.  It's not completely clear
    from the messages what happened, but apparently there were many
    hassling, abusive messages and it just got to be too much.  I ask
    the few people here who do so much posting of messages like that
    to this conference to please think about this.  (paranoia:  are
    they doing this on purpose?)  Am I the only one who wishes they
    would either keep quiet or go away (preferably the latter, since
    I don't think they're capable of the former)?

	Thanks for your toughtfulness in entering this note Karen, but the reason that the other conference was deleted was due to access problems and disk space as I remember it. And I hope that everyone still thinks the welcome mat is still out here...

	well, Gale, that was the public reason I was given for the closing of the file...is the reason that you have hinted at something you can share with the rest of us? otherwise I question the point of your answer Bonnie

	RE: 600.0 No, you are not the only one with those thoughts!!!!! I recently posted a note in response to a quote of Robserton's that Planned Parenthood was out to create a master race. I was quoting from an article that Magaret Sanger had written... The article used some questionable ethical reasoning that was acceptable in her time among the people who made the laws... And, taken out of the context of HER TIME, it could be twisted to mean what Robertson implied. She was using economic reasoning to appeal to the people with power in her day... I had to think very carefully about whether I wanted to post it because I was worried that anything I said would be grounds to attack Sanger and then somehow come to negative conclusions about Planned Parenthood, people who favor the use of birth control, women in this conference who might defend Sanger, and other ridiculous stuff. I did enter the article because this is my conference, TOO... Tamar the article raised some possible ethical questions about how Sanger argued for birth control)
