Everybody has jumped on Polyhead for supposedly threatening violence (how's he going to do it from the other end of the internet) and in response they are all threatening violence against him. You want to ban one person for this but not the others. The response to his post has been ridiculous. Nobody in their right mind could suppose he was serious about it (any more than calls to waterboard him are treated seriously) - he was just being a dickhead, and only slightly more insensitive than many of the rest of us are at times. The correct response is either to ignore him, or to laugh at him. But to treat that post with the po-faced seriousness people have done is frankly as pathetic as the post itself. -- Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Bran Everseeking > Sent: 13 January 2008 01:21 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Attn: list-boss: Free speech vs yelling fire in a theatre > > On Sat, 12 Jan 2008 22:34:20 +0000 > Bob W <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > what would you do about the people who have since > threatened him with > > violence? > > this group is not moderated and is rather like a large family at a > holiday gathering...
