Terry King posted a message to the list where he stated Judy Seigel's Post
Factory Photography publication insulted the alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca
mailing list. The only purpose of such a posting is to incite conflict.
This is unacceptable
I gave Terry King ample opportunity to stay on this list. My expetcations
were simple; he must have apologised to the list, and made a committment
not to do so in the future.
He has done neither and has never taken any responsibility for the
conflict that ensued. I warned him once, and he ignored me.
Since he has never aplogized or taken any responsibility for his actions I
was left with few options. I unsubscribed him.
I do not want the mailing list to become a site for debating the merits or
demerits of Terry King.
I do recognize that this is an important issue for many so I have set up a
discussion web page for this.
If you wish to discuss this further please see:

Thanks
