The analogy that comes to mind is somewhat like this. Your
dog came and cr*pped in another's yard (list). I imagine that
most people who see someone's dog do this are tempted to pick the
results up with a shovel and throw it in the owner's yard (list).
But then guests in the owner's yard are the ones who step in it--
sorry!
Then your last sentence is analogous to: "If you don't
like what my dog left in your yard, too bad. Please don't bring
it into my yard, I'm trying to keep it clean. Or if you
want, you can come put it in my garbage can (personal killfile)."
Now how does that sound?

Yeah, David Brin. I read his book, _The Transparent
Society_. As far as I can tell, his response to this mess would
be that those who didn't like Jeroen's behavior should set up
a site with evidence to back up their side of things. (And all
link to it, so it comes up in Google, I guess.) The problem
with this seems to be that no one cares enough to do so. Brin
uses the analogy of lymphocytes, saying that there would be
someone who would care enough to target this particular issue.
But somehow I doubt it... I guess this is like the real immune
system, though. The whole issue was a minor inflammation, not
enough to trigger an immune response.
