Marco,
I find your remark that you "decided" on this issue after reading my
post a bit disengenuous, for it seems your mind was already made up.
Your response makes it sound like I said that the difference between
Diana and Horse was that she never kicked anyone out, and you find it
somehow important to set the record straight on this. I never said this
and it wasn't my point. Please re-read my post.
As for Mr. X, you give the impression that Diana unjustly gave him the ax,
when in fact you say yourself that "it was just one of the many charges"
and "Diana had other reasons to unsubscribe him". Unless you are privy to
those reasons, you have no way of fully evaluating whether Mr. X's
expulsion was justified. After saying that Mr. X was expelled from the
MF, you then imply that it is OK for Mr. X to be back on the MD because
he was never expelled from the MD. This reasoning is based on a
technicality, not ethics. That Mr. X can currently post as an actual member
and doesn't have to piggy-back on someone else's account to get his ideas
across, and that Mr. X also happens to be an avid supporter of the MOQ,
are two highly correlated facts, in my opinion.
Your ancillary reasons for supporting Horse - that he pays the fees and
does the administration, are all very agreeable. And no, I didn't suggest
nor do I endorse the idea of democratic elections. As for whom I would
suggest taking over the moderating duties, I would be happy, for example,
with anyone else on the steering committee. This would lighten Horse's
workload so that he could spend more time developing filters to, in his
own words, "ensure that the list is not swamped with spam, virii [sic]
and various other shite [sic] ...".
Glenn
