Eloquently said, Mike!  He was insufferably rude and arrogant.

Dear group,

Thanks to the several of you who sent me heads-up messages.

Mike M. appears to have suffered another of his periodic meltdowns and 
has resorted to inexcusable ad-hominem attacks. 

As well, given the rarity of my appearances here of late, he seems to 
have developed a sense of mission to protect the group from any 
opinions other than his own, leading to a general stifling of healthy 
discussion --  to the point that one member expressed to me their 
dismay that I had left him in charge of the group... <sigh>.

He has done some interesting and challenging work, and it would be good 
to be able to continue to learn from his results. Though blessedly rare 
here, this is not the first case where the dissemination of promising 
information has foundered on the rocks of a failure of diplomacy or 
cooperation.

I've removed and blocked him from the list, until such time as he 
convinces me he's sorted out his internal problems, coming to 
understand what behavior is expected of our members, and that he can 
share his results without allusions to omniscience or exclusive truth.

Sorry for the delay in responding, and my frequent absence. I continue 
to be preoccupied with several health issues (not addressible by CS 
use, unfortunately). While I am making progress, ongoing vision 
problems prevent me from doing more than sampling list traffic, so it's 
easy to miss things, including the overall "drift" of the atmosphere of 
the place. I'm sorry I let that occur in this instance.

Thank you all for your patience and allowing me to rely on your steady 
mindfulness of each others' wellbeing and the purpose of the group. 

Be well,

Mike D.
