This essay explores how language and discursive practices in online forums shape and regulate participants' interactions, focusing on the TECHWR-L LISTSERV discussion list. It examines how certain positionings and restrictions validate or invalidate conversational topics, arguing that these mechanisms, alongside software and hardware features, influence the boundaries of appropriate discussion in online forums and raise questions about democracy in electronic conversations.
