RE: [BaadAssGremlins] Insanity at the AMC Mailing List

["John W Rosa" <JohnRosa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been a member of the AMC Mailing List since early 1996.
It's always been a bit of a 'Wild West' due to it's lack of 
active moderation.

But don't take that to mean I want moderation. I think the
expolsions can be entertaining at best and a bit telling, at 
worst, of who the people are that we're dealing with the rest 
of the time.

Our manhere, Bart, was often one of the guy blasted for being 
out of control, foul-mouthed and crude (he and I agree those 
are pluses, not minuses..hehe). If I recall correctly, even 
Bart was banned once or twice.

I've never supported the practice. I think too many folks have 
way too thin skin. When Randy and Bart blew up, I sat back and 
chuckled at the reactions of others. I don't need everyone to 
talk just like I do, act just like I do, behave just like I do.

I dig the individuality in each person, and revel in the 
differences. Civility can go too far. I think an A-hole should 
be called exactly that- I've ben called it plenty of times myself
(often well earned, often not).

Eventually, that group will self-destruct. They can't live and 
let live. Many are just busy judging each other. Heck, Jock of
NAMDRA is now 'compiling a list' of evidence to prove that Frank 
Swygert is no good...and plans to send it to all that request it!!
Let the witch hunts and lawsuits begin!!
