hollised is to have been ordered by one's employer not to post any even
remotely job-related material to Usenet (or, by extension, to other
Internet media). The original and most notorious case of this involved one
Ken Hollis, a Lockheed employee and space-program enthusiast who posted
publicly available material on access to Space Shuttle launches to
<tt class="systemitem">sci.space</tt>. He was gagged under
threat of being fired in 1994 at the behest of NASA public-relations
officers. The result was, of course, a huge publicity black eye for NASA.
Nevertheless several other NASA contractor employees were subsequently
hollised for similar activities. Use of this term carries the strong
connotation that the persons doing the gagging are bureaucratic idiots
blinded to their own best interests by territorial reflexes.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="hole.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../H.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="holy-penguin-pee.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">hole </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> holy penguin pee</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
