OK then, I disagree. This whole situation is giving me the creeps. Unlike most people, I don't think anyone's actually in the right here, everyone's wrong. I find that this moderation reeks of censorship. I have read what others here call spam and even though some of the messages did need a bit of toning down, there were a few where I just couldn't find anything which resembled a threat. Jeroen's demand to be told what exactly in his messages is problematic when one is refused is a valid one. Refusal to do so indicates that it would be prefered that Jeroen shut up rather than get back on board. I left this list a little more than a year ago, after the 9-11 attack because I was reading posts which advocated things like nuclear attacks against Afghanistan and that members who actually voiced their opposition were put down and compared to the terrorists themselves. I remember that it was Jeroen, displaying the same pig-headedness that he shows today, who refused to stop asking the unpopular questions like, where's the proof? Now I'm back, and the dynamics have changed. I am not in a position to tell anyone what to do, but I can say what I believe and this is it. We have a problem which needs to be resolved. Kicking Jeroen out is not a solution which I believe will be beneficial to the list. Jean-Louis _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
