I just wanted to agree with this.

I have a few more points to add, too.

Sometimes a person has a lot of anger, and post some things that seem razy to many others. It is part of life. They were born that way. It is est if you can notice they a little off and not put too much technical ignificance in their work. This much can probably be agreed. It is an pportunity to consider how you feel about community.

In my case it to realize that Matz is nice, and that is... nice. For me ven if I don't post, it is nice.

However, insisting that they not post to a mailing list is bullying ehavior.

Complaining when others talk to them is to seek to control something hat is darn well none of your business, and is bullying and even a step eyond.

And calling them out for public ridicule is disgusting, and it is efinitely Lord of the Flies. The idea some had that simply pointing hat out makes you also like Lord of the Flies is bizarre! It is the eanness and trying to join together like a wild gang to force somebody ut even when it is not your decision, with no concept of social norms, hat is what Lord of the Flies implies.

It seems like it should go without saying that any post claiming to be ell intentioned should be accepted, unless it is clearly abusive. Not iking the author should never be grounds to exclude a post, or even to ttempt to exclude a post.

Because it is not nice to try to exclude people.
