No. (This is an old fallacious argument in favor of censure.) Most lists
are _not 'moderated.' These lists achieve their own *collectively inherent
and interesting vitality/direction.

A little emotion can be a good thing. Seems you don't choose to recall
_his abusive tirades.... but, I see, _he's also in your "inner fluxlist
censure circle." (What you also don't realize, presumably, is his
several-years'-long sad-feud with me on various lists. He's even stooped
to forging posts in my name.) Even your now-dead high-fluxist-priest
advocated censuring my ideas online... and all this I don't mind but ONLY
if the lists are truly open, free and democratic.
Free Fluxlist Now!
