Instead, we should have the right (and maybe this is already in place) to warn somebody, then if they persist, summarily unsubscribe them. That way, benefits are available for all who care to avail themselves, except those who can't or won't be civil. I can hear the storm of "Buts" gathering already, and yes the devil is in the details, but I can't accept that we should therefore be consigned to accepting just anything anybody feels like throwing, with no recourse. This our list (PTG's), and ultimately we ought to have the power to filter out people who stubbornly adhere to a pattern of behavior that the powers that be find objectionable, or destructive, or otherwise unacceptable. Do we have that power or not? </div> <div><br>-- Mark Schecter<div><br></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br> </div></blockquote></body></html>
