Well, one day there was a discussion on Phonolist about the difficulty of getting membership and I commented on the lunacy of the Flint policy. several snarky comments were made by people who had nothing constructive to add to any discussion. So I explained in detail that there was an alternative venue that was free of the toxic atmosphere and oppressive dictatorial rules and left. I had been a member of Phonolist since its inception and had grown quite tired of the attitudes, I will not be going back.
