So our knowable neighbor Kyle may have had some inscrutable motive for
creating a better community listserve than currently existed in his
neighborhood, when the existing model was unpleasantly dominated by
posts from some crazy persons on Purple. Perhaps, as you say, he cannot
deal with disagreements.
But nobody - neither you nor me - can dispute that Kyle sets clear and
simple limits on what he decides, whereas what Purple decides is a
perpetual mystery to everyone. Purple in no way reflects the concerns of
ordinary West Philadelphians, because it lacks any form of control,
whereas most West Philadelphians live under control..

If I remember correctly—and I'm sure that I do—Kyle started his "personal"
listserv less than a week before his book was released. I always suspected that he did it
to avoid any discussion about the book's subject matter. In that sense I agree with you.
I don't think he can easily deal with disagreements. I could be wrong.
