Dear Aaron
I totally respect your concerns in this matter but I would underline
the fact that Paul Treanor has not been censored through my request
for him refrain from libellous commentary. He remains a member of
this list, he continues to make contributions, and I will defend his
right to do so , despite some calls for him to be sactioned, until
such time that his actions, or the actions of anyone in any other case
compromises the legal integrity of the list.
I would add also that the moment Paul criticised the links page I
devised for the links page as monolingual, an issue which he along
with everyone on the list was responsible for, I wrote to him and
asked him to contribute non-English web-resources, which he duly did.
Links to his web-page and to the English Only Movement are available
