I saw him tell you not to post attachements, but no "if you do X will happen." Well, except for a "kick your butt on the list" with a smiley face. If that was the message to John from Eileen, I cannot imagine a problem. But now I read your next post, which says: > I have re-read the messages, and there's no threat of expulsion in > them. Since I remember this threat, either: > > (a) I self-implanted this memory > > (b) It happened in the chat room > > Steve and William, do you remember that I was threatened with expulsion? > > *Of course* the tone of the chat is much more light than the > tone of the Israel-Palestine discussion, but the threat *was* made. Well, I have two points about that. 1) I hope you can understand why we didn't spring to your defense, Alberto. :-) I would have done it, and I'm sure others would have if we had seen it. 2) The threat was way out of line. Indeed, it shows the problems with off line threats. How can the community evaluate the validity of such a threat if they don't see it. Dan M.
