I THINK ITS TIME TO TAKE DETWEILER OFF THE MAILING LIST, HE IS CLEARLY ABUSING THE PRIVELGE OF HAVING US AS AN AUDIENCE. ANY OTHERS ON THIS SIDE OF THE ISSUE??
No.
ANON
Did you really need to say this anonymously? I favor anonymity for a lot of uses and reasons. I do not feel that a call to ban some one is a legitimate reason to use this ability. How can we guage the feeling of the mailing-list when the voters are anonymous and therefore could vote as often as they like? If you feel as though he should be removed I do not feel that saying so anonymously does anything. Unless of course you are Detweiler trying to provoke us into agreeing to perceived censorship on your part. In any case I may choose to ignore his messages ala killfiles but I do not feel that canning him is useful (it would only egg him on) nor ethical. My personal feelings about him do not affect my decision to censor him. I personally find his rantings to be useless (not all rants, just his) and largely redundant and my kill file may contain him soon. (Actually I hate the killfile idea.... he may one day say something utterly profound that I might miss out on.) Oh, uh, I am rather new and I am having a wonderful time wading through all my mail from all of you. Particulary the procmail automation of pgp. Non-sig-here.
