> > Fellow listowners, how about issuing that formal warning right now?
Why do we need such administrative formality? He has witnessed the whole damn thing. He has gotten the message. He deliberately intends to continue on. He want to be the marytr, so let him be the martyr. Does anyone here think Mark does not understand exactly what our grievances are? Is he so compromised he can't help himself? Do we tolerate his apparent inability to control his impulses? He has only gotten worse. At which point is it too much? 200 messages a day, 400... when! The best thing I ever learned in high school was in the law class. A crime is a crime when there is an act, or failure to act, and a motive. Mark continues on with the senseless messages, he hasn't even slowed down. His motive, I think others have indicated he is deliberately trying to push the boundary. I believe he does have a motive. Does anyone here think Mark is _not_ guilty of this - that this is not his motive? So, we have the 2 required elements of a crime against our list member collective code. Is it malicious, or should he claim 'by reason of insanity'? Either way, in America, you still go to jail. Call him mental, call him a troll, call him a kook, call him an attention whore. It still adds up to breaking the rules. Perhaps we don't have it down on paper, but I feel he has broken the rules we all follow for the most part. Call him a recidivist! Gross misconduct of the rules. I say pull the trigger. Put an end to his farcical antics. He is making us look like fools. I think any other list would have done it long ago. 1 week. If Mark comes back and behaves in a identical manner, ban him for life. Send the message Jeroen, but you already know what the answer will be... more damn senseless messages flooding your mailbox as the answer. Let me add a final statement. I receive these messages at work. My killfile takes care of Mark's messages, but it does not _prevent_ them from being recieved by the mail server and forwarded to my mailbox. The corporate mailservers monitor every message incoming. While IT security would tolerate a spam message with offensive messages entering my mailbox, they will not tolerate Mark's more explicit messages. By some grace, I have not recieved a warning about the messages yet. Getting 150 messages a day from one person, will raise alarms in the monitoring software. Killfiling does not protect my mailbox from his messages, it only prevents me from seeing them. Even if I delete the message, it is still scanned by monitoring software on the receiving server. If he continues on, I will unsubscribe to protect my job. This list is not worth me having to explain to my boss why I voluntarily allow such trash in my mailbox.
