Thank you. I look forward to more of the best of C'punks, without having the hassle of continually weeding out the vapid bullshit. Apparently because of your philosophical orientation, you have stayed open -- and kept the List open -- to this pattern of eggregious harassment far longer than I would have thought possible. I applaud your patience, but for myself -- I have had more than enough! I think the way you choose to resolve the problem is admirable; indeed, fair beyond belief -- and I wish any masochist who continues to read the completely unmoderated list the best of luck. It has been painful to watch an often-challenging array of voices, from a wide variety of POVs, become swamped by drivel from assholes whose only goal was to burden the List with dung. As was doubtless their goal, they chased many once-faithful readers away. I trust the List will remain open to varied POVs. Sternlight, FC, and any others who might offer substantive challenges to Libertarian boiler-plate should never be feared or denied a hearing. I don't mind strident voices. I enjoy a conflict of ideas. But I abhor the emply spams and automated gratuitous-insult machines we've all had to endure for so long.
