I disagree with the delete-key being a solution for offending email to this list (Peter's post). I'd suggest deleting the sender (of offending emails) from this list. Yes we all have the right to free speech, but we all have the right to ostracize people we find offending. It is not a question of "rights" but rather of who's rights are to prevail. In the past folks have been dropped form the list (for being offending) and I (for one) suggest that we keep up that policy. We are here to discuss vanagons, not to discuss people, guns, potatoes, prostitutes or arabs or jews or conservative or liberals. This is not jokes.com, not prejudice.com, not insults.com, not misogynist.com It's vanagon.com so that's what we discuss here. m2cw, Malcolm > I usually try to stay out of discussions like this, but I > just felt I had to give my input. me too!! |
