But I'm also sympathetic to the moderators, because usually the kind of behavior being exhibited is a one-off: it's *temporary* loss of control, often only one or two posts. To all: If you are considering leaving the list because of one or two individuals, please consider a *local* "author or recipient" filter, instead of asking for a list-post ban, or a hold for moderation (which is a lot of emotional work for the moderators). If you are considering leaving because of the thread, many MUAs have an "ignore thread" function. If not, filtering on subject, which Gmail can do (I believe that if you select a whole conversation it will either filter the thread or filter the subject -- I always configure by hand because "AI" stands for "Abominable Idiosyncracy"). If you are considering *replying* to such an individual, in the case of a technical contribution, *remove* the CC to the individual address. This not only allows others to recognize an interesting discussion and participate if they choose, but also helps to rehabilitate the bad relationships as we recognize contributions. If you *must* reply to insults, etc (really this only should apply to moderators who may need to show publicly that they're "doing something", but we're all human :-), include the individual address. This policy will make such local filters more effective, and it's something we can all do *together* to reduce the stress of these occasional conflicts.
