Yesterday, Jeroen van Baardwijk posted about 40 messages to the list and its administrative address, all of which were re-postings of previous messages that were not acceptable under the list policies or were repeats of previous demands regarding the complaints that he has voiced on and off the list. After discussion with Julia, I sent the following message to Jeroen.
-- Jeroen, We're not going to discuss your concerns further. The list policy is clear and we have answered all the questions that we're going to answer. Demonstrate that you are abiding by the list policies and your messages will be handled like any other member. You sent 40 messages this morning, every one of which was redundant. Stop sending messages repeatedly and any other form of harassment. Nick -- This morning, we received another 17 similar messages from Jeroen. In response, I have blocked access to the mccmedia.com mail server for the e-mail address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (from which those messages originated). This means that no mail with that return address will be accepted at mccmedia.com. It does not block outgoing mail; that address remains subscribed to brin-l and should receive the list mail as usual (including this message). This is an action that I take only with GREAT reluctance. However, neither Julia nor I is willing to endure harassment of this kind. I appreciate those of you who have expressed your support during this difficult episode. I hope we've found a reasonable series of steps to balance fairness to the individual and mitigation of the list community's disruption and distraction. I regret that this situation has continued to escalate. Nick -- Nick Arnett Phone/fax: (408) 904-7198 [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
