Do that quitely, then. A public motion to killfile someone is a public
statement, and that's how it should be taken. Drop the "deny them that
freedom" rhetoric.
That said, you *know* my position on that thread, and even then, I am
certainly not killfiling anyone.

Oh? As far as I can see, we have handled the 'negative aspects' quite well
(as a project) so far, at least until this crap went out of d-private, where
all it caused was a relatively mild flamewar, many ill feelings and a lot of
waste of time. Just because the flames were diminishing and the matter was
finally going to the bitbucket... someone HAD to spill it outside of
d-private to see if the fire would grow strong again and burn more people.
I haven't finished reading all the mail yet to know who was the dumbass that
brought the mess out of d-private, but whomever did it is the one to blame
for any extra negative aspects that come out of this whole deal.

The latest crap has nothing to do with one's responsibility as a DD, which
IS why the whole deal is so pitiful.
