From: commpsych-bounces at lists.curtin.edu.au [mailto:commpsych-bounces at lists.curtin.edu.au] On Behalf Of Vicky TotikidisSent: Tuesday, 16 February 2010 12:51 PMTo: commpsych at lists.curtin.edu.auSubject: [Commpsych] Don't be silenced on human rights issues

 

Dear Commpsych subscribers

 

Please find an open letter to a subcriber who felt that a significant human rights issue which I sent an email to the list about was 'rubbish'. I also wish to assert that we should not be silenced about human rights issues and that if we know of an issue that fits the commpsych interests around human rights and social and community issues, then we should be able to send it without people being rude to us. In the future it may also be a good idea if we put the unsubscribe link at the bottom of our emails. Does anyone have this to send to the list please? 

 

 

Open letter to Mr B

 

I only sent this email to a few people I know personally and to the commpsych list. You must be on the latter list which is why you recieved the email. Commpsych is an interest group for community psychologists, social workers and other professionals and community members who are interested in human rights and social and community issues. The email I sent to the list (and not you personally) represents a significant human rights issue and I felt quite annoyed that you called it rubbish. Yes, I too get alot of rubbish in my inbox but I know the difference between rubbish and a human rights issue and I am always grateful to recieve the latter even though I cannot always respond or act on the issue. A simple press of the delete button is actually easier than shooting the messenger. I think everbody gets junk mail but this doesn't give you the right to be rude to someone who is trying to do a good deed for humanity and who legitimately sent an email that is suited to the list and the like minded individuals. This is why I recommended that you unsubscribe from the commpsych list in the same way that you subscribed to it because no one gets these emails unless they wanted to be on the list. It is not for me to remove someone else from a list they chose to be on

 

 

Vicky
