Maybe the troll's name is known, but nobody in the internet knows that you are a dog. It's easy to subscribe the list (and that's good so) and it's very easy to get an email address. So there is no real barrier for a troll. He's rather more dangerous afterwards, until we recognize he's the same troll again under a new address. > >> I've declared, if the community really wants to have another >> moderator, > > And I think such an approach is absurd.

But I'm not willing to follow instructions, which aren't reasonable. And I'm not willing to ban someone without the accordance of my co-moderator. There are good reasons, why mailing lists have to have two moderators. If Jörg wants a handyman, he has to look for another person. He is a moderator (of three) of the other germanophone mailing list. He can also become moderator of the users-de list. And than he's able to to do what he thinks is a reasonable action. And than he has take the responsibility for his action, if the action manifests useless and harmful. Kind reagards Michael
