I saw the offending post from Xeno before it was deleted, and I think Doug made the right decision. The post was malicious. It used information that Xeno supposedly had about Doug's private life in an attempt to embarrass him. That's a straight red card, no doubt about it.
Unlike Turquoise B, however, Zeno was not a serial offender and did make some thoughtful contributions here, some of them at great length. (I thought of him as Zeno the Interminable.) Perhaps a limited ban might be appropriate, of say, 30 days? I did not dislike MJ but his posts were clearly and consistently in breach of the Yahoo! guidelines. I think that anyone who runs a Yahoo! group is entitled to decide what is acceptable and what is not, based on those guidelines. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <steve.sundur@...> wrote : Ouch! I read xeno's post this morning, but couldn't reply. (of course it's all in the yahoo/ffl/mailarchive), but I guess a line was crossed. Too bad, cuz I like xeno's brand of cynicism for the most part, and of course, that dry, dry sense of humor. That will not easily be replaced, IMO. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : Dear Xenophaneros Anartaxius you are well aware of the yahoo-groups guidelines of invading privacy or slurring people on yahoo-groups.
