2. You have never registerered any discontent about MO's words against Arthur, only about mine. Why is that? I don't rememember that also you have written words against Arthur? ;) FYI, it meant that Arto's fairness is selective. Does it mean you agree with MO? Of course not. Where is

And while Roman's insults and bellicose language may be frequent, they are hardly interminable. They are usually mercifully brief. English is not my first language. Interminable, frequent, endless, call them what you will. He still gets to make them, while Matanya cannot anymore. And that

May I ask, what in the world justifies letting Roman rant on with his interminable insults and obsessive, bellicose language when we can't stand Matanya's equally insulting postings? Why should there be a difference? I don't know that anything justifies some of Roman's more

Arto scripsit: I agree with Göran; censorship is censorship is censorship! MO did not spam, did not write much off topic. I don't recall him to ever be on a lute topic. He did use insulting words and wrote as he thinks and sees, but he certainly is not the only one in the list to do that.

The lutelist is in no need of parenting and will be much stronger and more honorable for it. It could certainly do with a kind of minimum standard of civility that we all agree upon when we join. RMCG has no parenting and no standards of civility, and that is where MO really blooms, in the

Dear Wayne and lutelist, I must say, that I'm very disillusioned by this move to make what has previously been an open forum, a censored one. It brings forth nasty memories from the past, as well as orwellian ones. We are all perfectly capable to decide for ourselves what we wish to read and

Hi Goran, Although we disagree on this issue, I see absolutely no reason not to consider you still a virtual friend and a friend to the lute. I want to ask you though what happened to your transcriptions of the Chilesotti book that used to be freely available on Thomas Schall's WEB site? Are
