The way I see it, it's less of a "Morning Wood" issue and more of a "short-fused ranters who take their frustrations out on Morning Wood" issue. Has MW ever said anything inflammatory, offensive, or otherwise unnecessary to the list? Sure. But hell, that kind of stuff makes it to MODERATED lists sometimes... Further, he asserts that mostly he's responding to inflammatory, offensive or unnecessary comments directed at him. And my feeling is that he's right on this. If more people would let his comments slide, and focus on the technical stuff he's brought to the table, we wouldn't be voting... The people who flip out when MW posts something questionable are as much to blame as he is. And if they want to get all high and mighty, and, heaven forbid, unsubscribe, <shrug>, no skin off my back. The decision was made for this list to be unmoderated. There's no way we can expect that a certain degree of "cruft" wouldn't be the result. I understood this when subscribing to an unmoderated list - didn't everyone else? So when that cruft comes in, I just delete it and keep going. Instead, the Drama Queens get dressed up and make a show of force and now there's 4 times as much cruft for me to ignore. : Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. I'm pretty sure MW is aware of the lists' perception of him - I expect he'll tone down or leave (which would be a shame), so can we just get back to the disclosing of cool shit and leave the drama behind? ~S
