My understanding of Sandy's effort, for instance, was that he was to filter out the sludge of spam and contentless name-calling with which some idiots were flooding the list. My impression was that he was passing along any posts with content (ideas, pro or con, on almost anything) but filtering out the empty obscene name-calling and slurs (many of which seemed anon or forged, with varied and misleading titles, to duck my kill-file filters.)
Tim May writes that the disruptors "won". I say they didn't "win" anything. Truth is, the old, feeble, senile, stupid, and generally ignorant Gilmore/Sandfort team just gave up, because they're too much in bed with the establishment now to rock any more boats.
