Herman,
I see your point of certain members being unable to cope with the
load/getting fed up and unsubscribing is valid. But does that really happen
all that much, or is it more of a theoretical possibility? I would wager
that most people just skip over stuff they don't want to read. They don't
HAVE to read everything posted :-) ( I certainly don't.)
You need to look at it from the other side as well. You said:
"Furthermore, not all the members on the list were welcomed the debate.
One well-regarded member asked "Is this Goanet or Iraq-Net?" We,
therefore, decided to put and end to the debate"
I do not know what the definition of "well-regarded member" is... Is it some
special status one gets ?
Have you accounted for when people perceive these kinds of actions by the
goanet-admin team as "selective censorship" and unsubscribe as a result? Is
that fair?
