Is this too much to ask? Is it difficult to do? Would it be too
embarrassing? What are the problems involved?
The Amish practice "shunning" to express their disapproval of an
other's
behavior. Perhaps we can declare publicly that we are selectively
shunning a person who repeatedly violates agreed trusts (rules).
I made all of this perfectly clear in the past three posts I made on
this subject, especially the most recent one. Again: it is the 1% of
subscribers who deliberately try to usurp, distract, degrade, divide
this list with extremely inflammatory posts who demand immediate
action
from me to keep them from going any further, i.e. shown the exit
then and there. I will continue to implement this policy. I am not
going to leave decision-making about that 1% to the list
subscribership. That's how most lists and forums are run if they are
to succeed and the majority are far more strict with regard to
behavior that is tolerated
than this one is. Then there is the issue of real bonafide
professional, paid industry trolls or self-styled ones masquerading
as normal subscribers. They do exist, sanet-mg is full of them.
These are not commons members and I waste no time locking them out
of the list. That's SOP or all good lists and forums.
Its is the remaining 99% that the list exists for and is capable of
using this forum as a commons. The Commons, list usage and
guidelines documents on the list homepage apply to that community.

That policy will be followed 99% of the time.
