It'd be odd enough to exclude users because they are "humourless", but the
allegation is not even true.  In fact, it was an _ironic_ reply of mine that
"triggered" REH's famous insult "Chris, you're such a pig."  So, if users
are to be excluded for being "humourless", REH has to be excluded.

But I do NOT want to exclude anyone.  I only ask that the insults and
racist slurs stop.  That includes M.Gurstein, who suggested that I am
a Predator just because I'm Swiss, and who hasn't apologized to this day.
So much for his "living room conversation rule"...

I think it has become obvious now that certain users insist on removing me
from the list for making political statements that they don't like, and
for this goal, ANY pretext and agent provocateur is welcome to them.
Can it get more "humourless" than that?  (NewSpeak turns things upside-down.)
I have been on FW-L for over 10 years, but the word Predator is a taboo.
