I'd like to go back to lurking, but a few replies below. Mainly, this:
Bard occupied too much space, so I hope we de-occupy it with more
forward- or outward-looking things. Nettime does best when mods are seen
and not heard.

On moderated status….for what exactly?
For softly criticising Felix a few months ago, funny enough, on a
related topic, when he totally out of the blue used the Defence of a
women as a line of argumentation against someone else?
Nina, you aren't on moderated status. Several messages were delayed, as
I said, for some technical reason, mostly because of some difference
between the subscribed address and the sender. I didn't take notes, so
I'm not sure what the issue was in the case of your mail — but it
wasn't delayed deliberately in any way.

Although I certainly do not share all of Alexander's notions and

is one of these 'trolls', I don't support banning him from nettime
permanently. I have to admit that I am a bit shocked by the eagerness
with which some people seem to be wanting to 'shut him up,' as I do
not consider this a productive way of having a discussion. The problem
remains of course that a lot of people feel offended by his posts and
that the discussion I am referring to has gotten out of hand recently,
so the best solution would probably be to put him temporarily on
'moderation watch'.
Menno, I set Bard to mod status rather than kicking him off the list. If
we call it temporary, we'd need to set up some kind of criteria for
switching it back. If Bard wants to initiate a private discussion about
that, he can do so of course, but I don't think it's the best focus for
the list right now. If he sends any messages, we'll review them at some
point — but since his destructive style thrives on speed, we'll do it
on our own time.
Cheers,
Ted
