Mark,

Threats are self-perceived.  And name calling behind a keyboard is  
quite the brave act.


I've no issue with objective criticism of any technology.  I do tire  
of inane and repetitive assertions of opinions based as fact.  I  
prefer to code grounded upon something other than faith-based  
perceptions.


And if your efforts are intended to be humorous, trust me you  
current  career choice was a wise one.

Well, IMO, the funny part of them is that 50% are accurate and valid. 

So, do we now ban people whose opinions do not match ours because they
are "disruptive"?

Great way to build up the community Niall - ban independent thought.

It certainly seems ill-advised to use a work-related email address for
non-work activities, but there is no guarantee that his workplace has any
policy on what he is allowed to use his email address for, nor is there any
reason to believe that he is billing his employer for the time he spends
posting.

} A troll is a troll is a troll.  Trolls spam.  Span is odious in any form.

You seem to have a nonstandard definition of spam there. Spam, in general,
is unsolicited commercial email. Trolls are rarely trying to sell anything.
There is also some question as to whether Mark is a troll. Sure, he says
obnoxious things, but some of what he says is at least thought-provoking.
Furthermore, the posts that attempt to correct his wild statements are
often edifying. 

} This long time lurker, and beneficiary of the discussions, says:  Stop the

I'm going to go with the slippery slope and futility argument here, and say
"suck it up." It's poor policy to start banning people, and it's ultimately
futile since email addresses are easy to come by. Beyond that, in any
online community there will be annoyances; that's what the pretty little
delete button is for. In fact, if your email program is clever, you can
filter out everything he writes and never see it in the first place. If
it's especially clever, it can filter out all replies to anything he's ever
written.

Niall, you'll get no debate from me that his posts are exactly as you 
describe them.  I think the quotes you provide illustrate it perfectly 
well (and I myself replied to that comment about Indians a few days ago 
because it offended me, and I'm about the hardest guy to offend on the 
planet!).


But... I would be against removing him from the list because I believe 
it sets a dangerous precedent.  You know, the slippery slope and all... 
it would be too easy in the future to ban others for lesser offenses 
(and no matter how everyone says that would never happen, that's what 
everyone ALWAYS says when sch things are done for the first time).


The only situation I can think of where I'd be OK with someone being 
removed is if they are actually spamming the list regularly.  While he 
is annoying, obnoxious and inappropriate, I don't believe it rises to 
the level of spam.


Besides that, you know as well as I do that banning a particular eMail 
address is all but useless if someone is intent on continually annoying 
the community like this.  I doubt anyone wants to play cop and keep 
banning each new address such a person would go and sign up with.


Just my opinion though. :)

the local county fire and rescue dept.  Now, I'm at the Maryland State Board
of Erec..., er, Elections doing system and application upgrades on a
Python/PHP/phpWiki/PostgreSQL-Oracle/Linux portal
(www.elections.state.md.us - horrendous, isn't it?).  Covertly, I'm sticking
Mono and Java frameworks in the rebuild, and since I haven't used Struts
since 1.0, thought I'd lurk around and see what's going on.

* Your sure did: C#.NET makes stuff like this soo easy!  Struts is dead.

* That would be the "Friggin' Ignorant Newbie Encyclopaedia?"

* Your root problem is using Validator in the first place.  (1) It is a
bogus design from the start, and (2) it never has worked as advertised

* huh?  Me thinks you better be reading the J2EE spec first

* Validator is crap...and always has been.  If you look in the archive, you
will see more complaints about Validator working over the past 3 years and
any other 2 subjects combined.
