hollised

hollised
 /hol'ist/, adj.

   [Usenet: sci.space] To be 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 sci.space. 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.
