I can see how people can be disciplined for online behavior. A few colleagues and I started this new listserv because of some very unruly behavior on the larger list here in Chicago. I'm starting to do more writing about these issues, so I may contact you to hear more about your situation there in the UK. All the best! Bill Hi Ron,

Here in the UK the main organization for CBT therapists, the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) ran some listservs until earlier this year. They were unmoderated, but all members were bound by a common code of ethics. The listservs were shut down after a disagreement over whether a particular combination of two common English words was humorous or offensive. The disagreement also led to disciplinary action by the BABCP against two of its members. I now run a moderated web forum for BABCP members, but some still yearn for the wild days of unmoderated listservs ;) Listservs can be difficult to moderate successfully.
