Dear All

(and I'm really not picking on you in particular, Karl),



While most of us may not agree with a single thing that Jim writes, his 
posts do remain within the parameters of B-Hebrew, he is always polite, and 
there is absolutely no reason to ban his posts. There are not a few members 
of this list with "unconventional" ideas, and none of them are banned. The 
moderators absolutely refuse to practice any form of censorship of ideas.



If there are members who do not want to read a single thing that Jim writes, 
they can set their email programs to send all of his posts to the rubbish 
bin. Others can simply ignore or delete them. In my opinion, the fact that 
some members take the trouble to answer and argue, on one hand perhaps 
serves to encourage Jim to post his theories, on the other hand serves to 
clarify his errors, which may be especially important for some of our less 
knowledgeable members. In any case it's your choice.
