RE: Jim Fleming's posting privilleges have been revoked

2001-10-25 17:00:02
It's not a question of whether Fleming's opinions were popular - it's just that 
they were wildly irrelevant to the work of this list.  Having read many of his 
postings, I can only conclude that either (a) he was deliberately flame-baiting 
(and often successfully) or (b) his clue meter for "playing well with others" 
has actually bent the bottom pin and lodged itself in negative territory.  
 
FWIW, I concur with Harald's decision to employ this extreme sanction.  Knowing 
Harald, I am confident it was only after much careful consideration, and after 
many efforts to resolve the issue in other ways, that he did so.  -- Ian

        I guess those of us who might be interested in hearing all 
opinions--and not
        just those that agree with your own--are out of luck, eh?  I can decide 
for
        myself which messages I do or do not wish to read; I don't need your 
help.
