The discipline was invoked re flaming. Keith said he is not a topic cop and he isn't. Flamers are another kettle of fish. The point is not that you agree with disciplining flamers, the point is you referenced power corrupts. Keith is still uncorrupted -- still not a topic cop. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2003 11:29 AM To: biofuel@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [biofuel] Re: "Arrogance of Power" and a bunch of otherwar-relatedthreads Hi Kirk, What part of "I must say that in this case I agree that you have acted correctly" did you not understand? If you would read what I said you may see that I was only pointing out to Keith that he has been carrying water on both shoulders, I assume that as he has not responded he did not take any exception to what I said. You will not find any reference to "topic cop" in my text as I am aware of Kirk's views on this subject and as it is his list I have two choices, I can accept his rules or I can leave. Best regards, Vern Vern there is a difference between a topic cop and interceding re a flamer. You can't see that?

Keith Addison List owner" Lets see you are now the "List owner" not just the good shepherd you have us believe when you wrote: "No, it is not *my* list. I'm it's steward - servant, skivvy." My point is that even you turn to violent threats and ultimatums and can do so because you have the power to do it on this list. What is that old like about power corrupts? I must say that in this case I agree that you have acted correctly but it does let some of the wind out of your anti war position where negotiation is always better than action. Have a good day. Best regards, Vern PS: Perhaps some will enjoy the humor and the moral in the following:
