*Statement on Flames* As a consequence of the recent round of flames, the following decisons were made: 1. Rakesh has been suspended for a three month period which began on July 11. He was suspended for violation of the January 24 agreement, specifically the prohibition against flames. That agreement, which allowed Rakesh to be readmitted to the list, indicated that there would be "no exceptions" and that any violations would be met with an unsubscription for a "substantial" period of time. 2. In suspending Rakesh, we are not condoning the actions of Jurriaan or others. In our view, all parties were partially to blame. We advise _all_ listmembers that it is not acceptable to engage in flaming of other listmeners - *for whatever reason* - on OPE-L. 3. Jurriaan and Rakesh are not to refer to each other or their posts (directly or by innuendo) on the list. This prohibition is open-ended at this time. 4. We wish to make the following known to all listmembers: a) *even if you feel you have been flamed, that is NO EXCUSE for retaliation by flaming someone else on the list*; b) If, in the future, you feel you have been flamed you should take the matter up with the Advisory Committee and Jerry OFF-LIST. We would then determine whether in fact you were flamed and, if so, what should be done about it. Comradely, Alejandro Valle Baeza <valle@servidor.unam.mx> Allin Cottrell <cottrell@wfu.edu> Fred Moseley <fmoseley@mtholyoke.edu> Jerry Levy <glevy@pratt.edu>
