Do we all, subscribers of the FreeBSD > lists, have to be involved in something like that? Yes, we do have to be involved in something like that unless we want to withhold or discourage the exercise of the rights/privileges of a person to respond to messages, especially ones addressed directly to the person, especially ones which cuss out or otherwise offend or insult the honor of the person. I'd hate to be involved in something like THAT. If we want certain threads to go away, we should send ALL of the people involved in the thread (and them only) pivate mail asking them to stop; maybe even explaining way. Adding to the thread is unlikely to stop it. The people responding to Anthony are more responsible for the length of this thread than he his, since he doesn't respond to every message. Send THEM a nastygram before (or at least after) trying to stiffle the person who's views are being attacked. It's only fair. Anthony has been quite civil and should be treated civily, even if you ask him to please stop. Don't make public statements and then upset if he responds publicly (unless it's not responsive or otherwise uncivil). Personally, I haven't minded this thread, though I ignore most of it. And I hope we allow Anthony to get his last word; he seems to need it. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
