A mail filter is not workable in all situations such as the one
under heavy discussion. The reasons given are clear. Your comment was
not necessary.

This is what I was suggesting but several folks got their panties in a bunch
and feel that filtering is unacceptable. They’d rather be spoon fed I suppose
than work their own silverware.
Good point though

may I offer a suggestion? there are mail filters that can be applied from the
end user. Most mail clients can actually do this based on a number of criteria.
So, if someone uses a foul tongue and makes threats, just filter their mail
into the trash based on that offenders email address, or based on a list of
words that are offensive. THe offender will realize with alacrity that his
messages are being ignore and will go elsewhere.
Just a thought.

Of course, as always, it helps to remember that if nobody replied to the
abuser, we wouldn’t have these issues. But it also helps to know that a
moderator can do this quickly in response to a general consensus or clear harm
being done, and that, for better or worse, people will respond angrily to
threads and contribute to their derailment. I see no reason why anybody’s
freedoms should be impacted by such moderation, only the benefits that come
from a more efficient filter on the list mail than would be achievable
otherwise by individual members, especially when the only tools available to
them are on their devices.
So, as I said previously, I regard this as a matter of administration, not
ethics. Having a moderator around is simply important for damage
control—nothing more.
