I don't find being threatened comical. I am tired of watching list members defend themselves against someone who is an authority on this list. This is not appropriate behavior for a list owner. (I know, I know. I'm repeating myself. It bears repeating. What he's doing is wrong.) <snip> >Jeroen (or Julia), you have my permission to 'moderate' me off the list if >you so feel I am a disruptive member of this list.

All you have to do to become the center of a big conflict here is announce something along the lines of: you're tired of hearing Americans whine about September 11th and use a few thousand people being murdered as justification to attack the poor downtrodden Afghanistanis. Alternatively, you could announce to the list that blowing up five-year old girls is an appropriate war tactic when you're fomenting a revolution against Israelis. Either worked very well to stir up controversy. <sarcastic> Jon It is my opinion that by a) repeatedly and unapologetically threatening list members (how many times does this make, has anyone kept count?) and b) announcing that he is constructing a web site in which our posts will be taken out of context and attacked according to a self-imposed standard, that Jeroen is overstepping himself as a ListOwner/Moderator. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
