I don't think that something like that would actually encourage self-moderation, though. And there *are* good discussions to be had about the Middle East. I'm sure if I looked into my archives a bit I'd be able to find some that *did* happen on Brin-L. Although a temporary repreive would probably do the list some good. Still, flat-out saying that "Middle East == verboten" doesn't seem right to me. Let's fix the problem, not the symptom.
