Reinier, I agree with you. I think Kyle did that in the heat of the moment, and probably shouldn’t have removed him so impulsively. The thread went on in a different style: Kyle: I remove you! Cavin: I join with another address and grin at you...
While Cavin has a rather controversial style, he also makes contributions to this list, and others (where we’re both members). I think the discussion which ended up in his removal from the list had become personal and emotional. I believe that it is possible to have a discussion with someone who you strongly disagree with and maybe even dislike without getting that way. Bottom line, I think he should be cautioned, and reinstated to the list. Also, I suggest that the concerned parties have a chat off-list and finish up whatever issues so that it doesn’t continue on that thread. Regards, Joshua Twinamasiko G.

Which means that if you disagree to ban a member, please express your concerns. There are some very valid arguments to be made to not have this happen. However, personally, in this case, i fully support cavin's removal. -- rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. +256 758 801 749 www.mountbatten.net On Wednesday 26 January 2011 15:59:26 David Ziggy Lubowa wrote: > I just can't help it but this has been agreeably diverting!!!!! > > On Wed, Jan 26, 2011 at 12:21 PM, Paul Bagyenda <[email protected]>wrote: > > Eh banange!
