Same as me and Julia, but wait!  That means that he, just like us, cannot
put anyone on moderation, or take any other big list-manager action, without
agreement from us.  In other words, at least for now, all three of us have
to agree that such action needs to be taken.

The only exception has been when something threatens the server itself, and
thus become somewhat personal to me.  I have a hard time imagining any
scenario other than an attack on the server that would lead me to act
unilaterally.
How quickly you forget...

It has not been the only exception, and it's not the only scenario. A few weeks ago I added a Copyright Notice to a message; only a few hours later you threatened me with:

This notice exposes me, personally, as the owner of the list server, to
liability that I find unacceptable.  Don't include it in future messages or
you're back on moderation and no messages will be permitted to go to the
list that contain such notices.

Under other circumstances, Julia and I have agreed that both of us must
consent to moderation, but due to the personal liability exposure inherent
in this, I'll do so unilaterally.

This is not negotiable and I will not discuss it with you.  If it continues,
or you take any other action that threatens to disrupt my servers or exposes
me to unacceptable liability (in *my* opinion), you'll be on moderation for
as long as I host the list.
(And while we're at it, notice that in that message too, he outright refuses to discuss his actions.)
