THIS is why the Wilbur messages get on my nerves. This attitude (feigned or real) that Mr. Constantino can flood Brin-L with whatever he pleases, and refuse to even acknowledge that he's part of a community. A few weeks ago, the idea of kill-files made me queasy - the notion that some people simply silence voices they don't like without even listening to them seemed very wrong. But now Mark has got me deleting the bulk of his messages sight-unseen, and that pisses me off too. He's made me violate my own principles. But having said all that, there have been some very powerful arguments against Mark's being (temporarily or permanently) banned, so I don't know anymore. The situation requires some thought.
