But YOU aren't even familiar with the rules, Jeroen. YOU broke them yourself when you SILENCED Erik. Your rules say spam is "unsolicited commercial email". Erik was NOT spamming by YOUR OWN RULES. Yet he received no warning before you SILENCED him.
Then what do you call the repeated unwanted forwarding of my messages, complete with demands that I stop sending messages?
BTW, interesting detail: if Erik's postings don't qualify as spam, then neither do my posts. Yet you (and several others) seem to agree with Erik that *my* posts were spam. Why would my posts be spam if his are not?
In answer to your question about moderation, do you mean that you will be the moderator?
Being the listowner, I will of course also be the moderator. But let's face it, when it comes to making this list a moderated one, I only follow the will of the community. If people use this list only for its intended purposes, I have no need to start moderating this list. If people want to continue harrassing me here, and continue discussing matters that should be discussed elsewhere, then I may have to start moderating the list.
The decision is really up to the members of this community.
Someone who cannot follow his own rules? Someone who has SILENCED two of our listmembers for your OWN SINS? Someone who has made death threats to three people?
Tiresome as this is getting, I never made any death threats. Those alleged death threats only exist in the minds of some people with a serious lack of understanding of the English language.
Is that the person who would moderate the list? That doesn't sound very moderate to me. It sounds extremist.
The word "moderate" as used in "a moderate person" has a significantly different meaning from the word "moderate" as used in "to moderate a mailing list".
Jeroen van Baardwijk, Listowner
