RE: [ga] Re: [ADMIN] Two Week Suspension of Eric Dierker

Once again, this thread demonstrates that every act of
censorship/exile/eldering/monitoring/whatever-you-call-it results in a
spew of posts that distract from any serious business.

I persist in the belief that while a limit on the number of posts daily is
sensible, this other stuff is in fact counter-productive, whether or not
it is just or right (I think, by the way, that as a matter o f principle,
it's not right for a governance body)

In any case, I call on all list monitors to err on the side of rejecting
complaints to save us from the fog of irrelevance and/or the trouble of
having to killfile all these threads.  At some point, when you killfile
too much of a list, you start missing content.  There is content, right?
