Hi Husk,
Hi Martin
First of all, I'm a pd-list subscriber and I'm more offended by your post than Simon's, just so that you know.
ok
The image in his email is incorporated into the body, it's a link to a URL: http://email.rwcmd.ac.uk/disclaimer/signature_build.jpg. I believe you jumped to conclusions, and there is no reason why an embedded image link should be considered bad practice.
That's totally right
I abhor fascism in all its forms. Having said that, I know Simon personally and I can vouch for him. The Mussolini video is not something that he posted. It is on his channel but as a favorite. It could very well be spam from someone else, or he might have linked to it because it is a piece of media that he discusses in one of his classes. Once again, there is no need to jump to conclusions.
I jumped to wrong conclusion maybe and I feel sorry for that. See a Mussolini video set myself on fire. For many reason after this stange days in Italy. BTW I don't get how a Mussolini video can ends on favourite video in my youtube channel. Is this youtube page Simon's channel right?
My personal opinion is that you should have emailed Simon and asked him privately before rubbishing him on the mailing list.
I don't think so, because I believe in constructive public and collective discussions (and conflicts too)
cheers husk
