Like any on-line discussion board, our spontaneous, unedited dialogue is appropriate for a conversational context, but not for scholarly discourse. Please do not publish quotes from our discussion without seeking the authors’ permission.

| Posted 9/26/2001 4:59 PM (GMT -6) | | Even without this disclaimer, wouldn't it be an illegal copyright infringement for anyone to publish text from this discussion board without the expressed, written consent of CVM?
I did notice that at the bottom of every discussion board web page, their's a copyright 2001 mark.
I think this means all content is protected by CVM. Maybe any offending parties need to know that!!!

| Posted 9/27/2001 4:07 AM (GMT -6) | | Everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial. It is technically okay to pull quotes from a discussion board chat, but are they appropriate for a scholarly publication? I remember a text from my undergraduate days that suggested they are not—at least not without permission: “Many electronic sources are a public as libraries, but if you intend to quote something posted to a discussion or news list, it is a good idea to ask the sender’s permission” (Wayne Booth, et al. The Craft of Research, 77).
If you are concerned about being quoted without permission, I recommend creating a secret identity. They’re great fun. Choose an alias that no self-respecting person would ever quote in a journal. Can you imagine the following quote: “On the Christus Victor Ministries discussion board, RamboBrains described the concept as an ‘ateleological suspension of the epistemological.’” Or pick an alias that sounds like it might be naughty, but you can’t be quite sure—like “Scriptease,” the name of my failed editing business. It is a surefire way to scare off all modest, morally scrupulous, intellectual authors. Just some suggestions. pia
