Well, no. I didn't agree with Marcus Bales' point of view, I thought his
posts aggressive, but likewise I felt Gabe was on the attack too, I speak as
someone who sides with Gabe's viewpoint, but I don't think spaming the list
is productive either. I'm not keen on anyone being banned from the list,
unless they really do go over the boundaries of personal abuse, but that's a
difficult matter to judge. Moralising statements from anyone don't help. If
we have arguments, we should argue them out. Silence is never an answer.
