Are people on this list not sophisticated enough to be capable of filtering his posts if they don't like to read them?
The short answer is, No. More specifically, we constantly have a stream of new readers sampling Cypherpunks. Some are technically sophisticated; some are not. In either case, new readers do not have the historical perspective not to fall for Dimitri's big lies. Nor do they have any way of know what an abberation his sort of behavior is on this list. "So this is what Cypherpunks are like," would be a sad, but understandable misinterpretation of what we're all about. What John did was appropriate.
