Its not that I dont understand why he was kicked. I could have even agreed with it under certain circumstances. But it seemed to me that it was well established that we would do something of that magnitude as a community and not behind the scenes. The reason why I never asked is because it never occured to me that something like that could happen on Brin-L. Not only that, but I think your comment about informing the group of such a drastic action is a bit disingenuous. You made your dislike for Mark pretty clear several times. Not that I have a problem with you personally, but the above quoted paragraph justifys the "hidden" actions as filtered through your personal prejudices. I think you are a great guy Jon, but I think you are wrong to defend this. xponent Wary Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
