Jeroen wrote, demonstrating that he's not really getting this: BTW, I could make a similar accusation against various people (including you). People have threatened to unsubscribe if a Wall of Shame would be erected. Following your logic, I could now complain that people are trying to blackmail me into not erecting a Wall of Shame. Because of that, I should actually build a Wall of Shame, because otherwise I would be giving in to blackmail.
*********************** OK, third version of this email. The first two were too full of shouting and profanity. Jeroen, you are the only member of this list that has publicly stated that a "Wall of Shame" will in any way benefit the list. If you really care about the list, can't you see that it is perhaps not a constructive way to settle the issue? Yes, you have been unfairly attacked - that's been acknowledged. Your refusal to drop the "Wall of Shame" indicates to me that youu're not really buying into the concept of IAAMOAC, and are instead relying on heavy-handed bullying to get your way. The "Wall of Shame" will get you nothing except temporary satisfaction, and in the long run will hurt our community. Longstanding and valued members of this community have clearly stated they will not remain on the list if they run the risk of attracting your ire and having their reputations smeared by out of context posts you deem offensive. Will you please, for pity's sake, renounce the stupid, divisive idea of a "Wall of Shame"? If you drop that, I'm sure you'll see more buy in from those you feel have unfairly attacked you. You'll also improve my mood immeasurably, and considerably improve the chances you'll be invited over for homemade ice cream at my house. See? I'm making jokes. Trying not to be all "gloom and doom". But I'm &%$#*@!!! serious about the ice cream. Adam [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
