Well, good for him. I, and many others on this list, feel that he was given many, many chances to amend his choices and retain membership in this list. He instead chose to act in such a way that made it quite clear the he was not interested in justice, but rather in continuing to be a major disruption to this community. Since he's been banned, he has continued to act in a way that makes it clear that he will not let something as trivial as removal from a fricking mailing list rest, and still has (last time I checked) maintained a web page that has the personal contact information of several listmembers posted, along with inflammatory language that makes it clear that he would not be unhappy if there were real-life consequences to these people. This is all over a damn mailing list, mind you. His "request" was a thinly veiled threat that promised that, if we NEVER spoke of him again, he MIGHT stop mass emailing listmembers, and me might even, if he was feeling sufficiently charitable, remove the personal contact information of those listmembers mentioned above. The ball is in his court - he needs to demonstrate good will and maturity by ceasing the mass emailings (which appear to have stopped, possibly because his ISP told him to stop) and removing his "Wall of Shame". I don't need to see his perspective to know that he's a disruption to this community, kind of like a belligerent drunk guy in a bar that keeps slobbering on the other patrons, than, when he's ejected, stands outside in the parking lot and screams abuse at the bartender. Who needs to see the world from the point of view of an angry, embittered person that can't accept the consequences of his choices? Adam C. Lipscomb [EMAIL PROTECTED] Read the blog.
