Why do you respond to such mails then? When you respond to such mails
_you_ are also becoming a participant. You can't exclude yourself from
such blame.

Then what is the point of moderation?

It is for every individual to decide. If one feel he/she is unjustly
put under moderation, then why should he/she follow the unjust rules?
On top of that, if other members and admins also think it is unjust
and agree to be a proxy, it is fair game. In fact, it is a standard
pratice in many lists including debian, to forward mails of moderated
members (recent case of Sven Luther an example - he was banned from
all debian lists, but other members were allowed to forward his
mails).

Sorry, I did not understand this.

_You_ are also helping make that record. Now atleast two mails (yours
and mine, may be other replies too) you contributed. You can't have
the cake and eat it too. Either you remain silent or be a part of the
world record.
