226.0. "Personnel Policy?" by TAHOE::HAYNES (Charles Haynes) Thu Nov 06 1986 17:35

        Examples of misuse could be transmitting offensive, harassing
        and/or devaluing statements, developing and transmitting
        inappropriate graphics, transmitting sexual or ethnic slurs or
        jokes, soliciting other employees, developing chain letters,
        communicating matters of private conviction or philosophy,
        permitting unauthorized access, etc.
    
    I have problems with this. It would seem to me that this entire
    conference is explicitly prohibited under the "communicating matters
    of private conviction or philosophy" clause. What to others think?

226.1	We're okay	REGENT::BROOMHEAD	Don't panic -- yet.	`Thu Nov 06 1986 17:50`	14
	The most general feeling I've found in this matter is that this conference is on safe ground. To be exposed to these "matters of ... conviction or philosophy" requires that one voluntarily enter notes, open this notefile, which says what it is for/about, and read entries in it. It would be different if someone sent you mail, or entered your office without being invited, in order to impart such "matters" to you. As they say in [my] old country, "Dinna thee fash thasel', laddie." Ann B.

	That policy does not apply here.
226.3	Policy is vague	GRAMPS::LISS	ESD&P Shrewsbury	`Thu Nov 06 1986 18:44`	11
	The company policy is so vague that it covers everything and says nothing. As far as personal convictions are concerned, I think the PDP-10 was the greatest invention since the discovery of fire. This is contrary to company policy. Will I get fired for such heresy? Will anyone give a darn? A matter of fact, this file has one of the highest standards of any conference on the net. Like it says in the ad "We have to answer to a higher authority". Fred
226.4	Highest standards?	SMAUG::RESNICK	Michael Resnick, IBM Interconnect	`Fri Nov 07 1986 01:03`	10
	You've got me curious... "this file has one of the highest standards of any conference on the net" Really? In what way are these stanards better than those of other conferences? Who's standards are these? What are these standards, etc., etc.? Michael

226.6	oh no, it's in almost every conference!	4158::GOLDSTEIN	We're all bozos on this bus	`Fri Nov 07 1986 12:02`	8
	Please move this to HUMAN::DIGITAL (see 111.), ANCHOR::EASYNET or one of the dozens of other conferences going over the same ground! In short, the policy says abuse examples "could be", not "are". Thus communicating matters of personal conviction could be abusive, if it's done abusively, not that all personal views are abusive. John Covert (/john) negotiated quite nicely on behalf of the noting community, if I may pay him the complement here.
226.7	Enough is enough	26677::CHERSON	Set the wayback machine Sherman!	`Fri Nov 07 1986 14:37`	4
	Oh come on people, let's lighten up and consider this whole "brouhaha" closed. Personally it's starting to verge on the boring. David
