I see no violation of that rule here. > - We DO include a few lines if our reply can't stand on its own. I am not replying to the content of Erik's post, I am doing what I said I would do: reply to every message he sends with a reminder that he still has to provide proof and answers. Therefore, no violation of this Etiquette Guidelines here either. > - If our reply is more appropriately directed only at the original > poster, we don't send it to the entire list. Cannot do that because, as I have stated before, Erik has set a filter that bounces my off-list messages right back at me. Therefore, no violation of this rule either because it is impossible to comply with that rule. >We further agree that: > - Abusive or inflammatory language is not welcome.

How can I be breaking *that* rule? BTW, removing someone has happened only once, and it has been shown recently that the required list consensus is almost impossible to obtain.
