Since I'm apparently being bashed in public: For the record, all I did was try and remove myself from his unsolicited spam mail list by making a very polite, indeed *respectful* request. I didn't engage him in anything that could be reasonably termed 'a fight'. Further, I informed him that if he wouldn't respect my wishes he'd be killfiled. That was done after he claimed he was being "forced" to ignore my wishes. I wouldn't have even seen him reveal his true motives for spamming me, "you do not deserve to be treated nicely" or see him say: "You deserve a slow and extremely painful death." to me if I hadn't missed a domain name when I killfiled him. That's been corrected. I do hope he enjoys my killfile. As the sole resident, he may decorate it as he pleases and Hotmail will clean up after him if he soils the carpeting. I would also like to note for the record, that since he's been permanently banned, I've held my tongue in order not to bash him onlist since he can't defend himself here. It's too bad he's proven himself incapable of acting civilly in return. > The Brin-L CoolList was intended as a fresh start, with > more on-topic discussion and less politics than the > original.
