Re: [ga] [ADMIN] Suspension of Dave Crocker

["JandL" <jandl@jandl.com>]

Are we not carrying this too far?  For years, list members have 
referred to the "crispy-crocket" duo and there  have been parody's 
of other list members' names.  While it is not the preferable method 
to refer to members, it is certainly not grounds for being banned 
from the list.  I have been the target of such posts in the past as 
well, especially from the duo.

I would rather see a name parody than some of the really cruel 
things said here.  It is simply a sign of frustration.  

I have a feeling that Joanna Lane has a thick enough skin to 
consider the source, ignore it and move on.  

Personally, I believe that the duo are paid disrupters who do a good 
job at their intended purpose.  I also think that the "delete key" is 
an ample method to ridding oneself of the lies, innuendo and attacks 
by them or anyone else.  I do not believe in banning for those posts 
as much as I feel they do no one any good.

Just my opinion.
