WTH is Going On? WAS: TechCommPros mailing list

So, the rest of us see a bit more of a glimpse of the seedy underside of 
our community.

As professionals, or at least as a group which often laments our 
professional status, shouldn't we be more concerned about the 
inner/behind-the-scenes workings of what is a major resource to us and 
stands in for a sort of professional organisation?

What does it say about the professionalism of the person that previously 
ran this list that they start a new list and abandon their previous 
responsibilities on short notice and under questionable circumstances? 
How was the list started and when? Should we question Lisa's ethics of 
inviting members of one list which she ran and planned to abandon to jump 
to another which she runs and obviously wants to profit from in one way or 
another?
Personally, my esteem for her has plummeted and she won't be at the top of 
any hiring lists I have influence over.

Why should I or other TWer's stand for a fragmentation of our community 
without a clear explanation of why?
Why should we support a fragmentation of the revenue that makes our 
community viable?
If it's about the money, why does Lisa Bronson deserve more of it, or what 
was wrong with what Eric Ray received?
If it was about power, why should we be concerned? Why should we fragment 
ourselves to support their Egos?
If it was about control don't we as TECHWR-l members need to know about 
the dissent among us?
If it was about content don't we as TECHWR-l members need to know so we 
can act to effectuate change?

Are we as list members to treated as children and expected to do as we are 
told or are we going to be treated with respect as both customers and 
members of the community? TCP already has requested that "household rules" 
be discussed privately off-list.
