[Publib] yikes...

Well, librarians are people, too, and sometimes tempers flare. It's not
usual, but a few times a year something seems to touch a nerve and
things get harsh. On those occasions, I just start deleting anything in
the thread. The vast majority of postings to the list (in the many years
I've been on it) are helpful and encouraging.

Hey PubLib-bers!

 

As a newbie (n00b) to this list, I'm still a little inexperienced with
the nuances of the group.  I've been enjoying some of the discussions on
programming and such, but there's a lot of content I've been skimming or
skipping lately.  A lot of emails seem to be a bit, urm, flame-y.  A
touch harsh here and there.  I'm actually kind of disappointed so far...
I've been on other listservs that were more informational in nature and
where, honestly, people were a little kinder to each other.  (I always
thought librarians were so nice...)  Am I seeing a fluke here, or is
this the norm for this list?

 

Thanks in advance
