I agree, we need to encourage discussion not squelch it and certainly not
respond with name calling or intimidation.

Subject: Points of view
Good day all,
I entered the Library Profession with the belief that it would provide
me with a working environment rich in diversity, thriving on differing
points of view. I would like to express to all those who responded to
Mr. Ditchburn's comments how deeply offended and disappointed I am.
Your mean spirited, unprofessional and childish attacks lacking the
slightest hint of intellect, cause me to reevaluate my feelings about
the profession.
Being a newcomer to the field of librarianship, and not "a professional"
I can only hope, (for the good of the profession) that comments
presented on ARLIS-L can not be generalized to the population of
Librarians.
I must say, that, especially in the field of Art Librarianship, there
should be a greater openness to differing perspectives, and knowledge
should be gained through critical interpretation of views you may
disagree with. Verbal abuse, intimidation, and nastiness benefit no one
and certainly do not shed positive light on the profession.
Thanking you for the wake up call
William Keaveney
