It is not his first post & so it directly enters the list. moderator have no voice in it. And it is a response to the discussion here, no response to the discussions here is moderated yet. I dont think there is a need for putting him under moderation. Personally I feel there is nothing wrong with masturbation. > Finally, I am not at all convinced about this "policy" of checking the > first 3 mails (the argument about why Geedha wasn't allowed to post) and > then "opening" up the space.

Dileep may be invited you. Any member can invite anyone. Your posts where also moderated at that time. I approved it and put it to lit because it was relevant for the discussion here. Moderating means the mails will be temporarily kept in queue for approval before entering to the list. It is a way to avoid OFFTOPIc & spam in this list. I felt geedhas mail on velayudhan nair's artcle is not relevant to the list Other than exposing geedhas face.( I dont know who is he, After i came to know he is her husband i feel it is not at all relevant) Same for her new mail on abhaya report. If you look at kerala magazines(Especially Manorama Dily & weekily, Grihalakshmi, vanitha & various film magazines, crime fire etc) the view in velayudhan nairs article shares on most of the publications. So what makes special with velayudhan nair ? so geedha's point is clear as bindu said. SK needs to be responsible for husbands positions. Thanks for mensioning the "extraordinary pain" of moderator. A lot of times here it will marked as a personal attack and may be portrayed as "An idiot green jackal who self-procalim to be an "activist" but pimping for green mafia of Kerala. He moves around in his republic of whims and fancies. One day you will see him grown like another Sugatakumari!!" ( The new testimonial written by Ranjit at my Orkut profile) I like to know the current status of various portrayals like GREEN MAFIA, Environmental Brahmanism(all in capitals), I feel there is a conscious effort to attack me personally offlist to build POWERFULL GREENYOUTH vs RANJITH ( a dalit assertive voice) to use the substanciate the typos of ENVIRONMENTAL BRAHMANISM, fascism, COUNTER HEGEMONY. I agee that i was immature at this point to deal with personal attacks. These efforts denied my opportunity to involve in discussion as a list participant & constantly pushed to participate in the role of a list admin When I Pointed Ranjits Egoistic masculine identity with all privileges of 24/7 Internet access, with proper references, He succeeded in exploiting that possibility well, which is resulted in listing me on a side. > The enabling possibility of cyber-communities is that they have the > potential to be infinitely open and inclusive.
