The latest example of this is the rantfest invvolving these players:
I really don't know why I'm being "killed" by May in this way. He cites a rant by a local (Portland, Oregon) crackpot named "Jack Hammer." I even took the time to apologize for his existence, while I do claim a certain lack of responsibility: Basically, I'm being targeted because Hammer can't stand my essay. (Whether May will even see my apology is in doubt, I suppose...) While May certainly has the right to "killfile" whomever he wishes, it might be a bit more logical to do this in a graduated fashion, "killing" Hammer and then waiting to see if the rest of us follow in his habits.
The reason for the killfiling is your habit of adding multiple additional mailing list into the To: and cc: list. I have seen more than one post where you have added a Libritarian list and the "Democracy Now Channel 2' list into the fray, not to mention other individuals. THAT is why you are getting the golden killfile, not your association with Jack "Acid" Hammer. (Though that may help...) The only individual I have killfiled (so far) is Dr. Fred. (At least on mailing lists. Usenet is another matter...)
