Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["TradingPostPaul" <tradingpost@riseup.net>]

FYI, Michael Melendrez has been removed from this list.  Our list
description plainly states:  "Living On The Land is not a commercial forum
for profit promotions." Everyone else has honored list guidelines
scrupulously, and with complaints from list members we cannot let him
continue the commercials while never contributing to the discussions. I've
had to reject seven (7) attempted posts to the list today from Melendrez. 

This is his reaction (unedited):

Paul,
 
It's not that you have prevented other companies or professionals  
participating, you have not had any other professionals interact with this
email  list 
other then Steve Diver.  I noticed you also ignored my invitation to  see
my 
site and to invite me out to see yours.  I personally know many of  the 
individuals that have been reading these posts and I intend to share with
them how 
you have so conveniently excluded me.  
 
Furthermore, the First Amendment does not protect you from  disparagement 
laws as they are very clear.  It's not a threat by me, it is  a word of
caution, 
because you cross that line way to often and someone is going  to not take
so 
lightly.

So as listowner I'm now being threatened with something called "commercial
disparagement". Little ole me, a nobody, hurting his profits? 

End of story.
