Biblical Hebrew Forum

[Yigal Levin <leviny1 AT mail.biu.ac.il>]

Dear Garth,

 

The discussion was stopped not because it was not appropriate for the list
(which it certainly was) but because some of the participants had started
the descent into name-calling and ad-hominem attacks. In light of recent
events on the list, we decided to keep a tighter rein than usual. Hopefully
not for much longer. If you wish, feel free to re-open the discussion in a
few days.

 

Thanks for your understanding,

 

Yigal Levin,

 

Co-moderator, B-Hebrew

Subject: Moderating madness?

 

Dear B-hebrew moderators,

Why are you censuring sensible discussion of Blau's recent work on the
history of Biblical Hebrew?

Isn't the discussion of Biblical Hebrew linguistics the very thing we are
all here for?

Is this some kind of 'Simon says stop it' game?
