> Surely Voltaire didn't support speaking in inappropriate fora? Who knows? But the fora Xah posts to are few (5 or so?) and appropriate. "Software needs Philosophers" wasn't even his rant, but was certainly appropriate to all groups he posted to.
If you don't like Xah's posts, then don't read them. Killfile him or whatever. But they *are* generally on-topic, they are not frequent, they are not spam and they do seem to be intended to provoke discussion rather than being simply trolls. I have no particular affinity for Xah's views, but what does get up my nose is usenet Nazism. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
