What a shame Voltaire never was on crit geog. It was he who said..
"I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the
death your right to say it".
If what is said is derogatory to another person, they surely can
equally defend their position. (if not on the list they can join it or get
someone else to defend on their behalf)
If it is actually libellous, we have a legal system to deal with that.
If it is so far unacceptable to the rest of the crit-geog community
that the person sayoing it is in a minority of one, I am sure the list
members will make that clear too.
Surely it is up to the crit geog community - as a whole - to monitor
what goes on this list.
