Everyone here is a scholar, Oga.

Prof,
You make repeated reference to scholars as if all of us here are scholars.

CAO.

Dear all:
 Some have contacted me to ask why their postings have not appeared. I have not rejected anyone's posting. I don't base decisions on whether I agree or disagree with any position.

1. Anonymous posts are not allowed. Your name and address must be accessible . Where anonymous folks penetrate the list, I never post their statements.

2. It is the email address that you used to join that you can use to post. The system is such that if you use a different email address your message won't make it to me.

3. Adepoju sends tons of postings from other lists, and I cannot approve all of them.

4. When an issue contains what can be misread as "hate literature", anti-Semitic, anti-Islam (this is common) I do not post. Scholars should allow Muslims to practice their religion in peace. It is disrespectful to abuse people of other faiths and cultures different from yours.

5. When I have no access to the Internet, Bisola, my daughter and Vik, a member, take over and they reject and select.

I chose not to be active as a contributor; I read everything; and I send private warnings to folks when they cross the line. And of course I warn occasionally when I think that statements may generate violence and hostilities in plural spaces. Scholars must contribute to peace and harmony. Politicians have done enough damage. All human lives matter.
