You kicked him off the list?
Effectively, yes.
His posts now require moderation (and will not be approved
at this point). He also has the admin no-mail flag set so he doesn't get
list traffic. It will stay that way till I decide what to do about it; and
during that period I wasn't going to continue to have gasoline poured on the
list.

I do not believe in posting anybodies personal
information like phones
This "Andrew" account was unsubbed this morning
when I read this stuff.
Having said that hexstar is pulling the same kind of
annoying junk on the
68kmla.org forum, I guess he can't take a hint.
I have tried talking with Hex
Star off-list, and my points/requests seem to
be ignored.

Still, I feel the list, and possibly the hobby, are
poorer because you two
(and many others) couldn't hear what each other were saying.
When the exact same
post is made over and over because the desired response
wasn't received... I think I can hear what that is saying loud and clear. I
emailed him off-list a few times to attempt to resolve/coach. Did You?
To provide a balancing counterpoint - I want to remind some of the
old-timers that it is the young new blood that will keep the hobby alive.
Bottom line - this list will get back to the discussion of classic computing
and drop all this bickering and petty arguments immediately, even if I have
to set the moderation flag for the entire membership and manually
approve/reject every damn post. I think all listmembers should pause before
each post they make and ask themselves if this post is courteous and
considerate. This is a private mailing list, and posting here is a
privilege - not a right. You do NOT have the right to post whatever you feel
in whatever manner you chose.
