Like others on this list, I filtered JoJo out of my Vortex-l account long ago. I have my limitations.
However if Jojo was recorded to have recently posted phrases like: "What a piece of work you are. Your mother must have really screwed up raising you." For whatever reason JoJo may have had to be upset this time around, and it seems to me that it doesn't take much to Upset JoJo, to have felt justified in lobbing such insults towards another Vortex member... this strikes me as having completely crossed the line of proper Vortex-l etiquette. This is precisely the kind of deliberately insulting behavior that got Grok, (he-who-shall-remain-nameless) banned. IMO, some of the posting behavior of Jojo, particularly when he feels both defensive and upset at others for which he seems to feel have slighted his personal sensibilities, often strikes me as someone who is on a suicide mission. To me it's as if Jojo has been for quite some time now deliberately trying to evoke Mr. Beaty's ire into banning him. Why? It's as if Jojo's wants to prove to everybody that he has been unjustifiably singled out as the "bad" guy on the Vortex-l list. If he can get Mr. Beaty to ban him, Jojo can then feel that he has proved to himself that the Vortex-l list is really is out to get him. ...the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. Circuitous behavior is often difficult to break out of, particularly when one is hell-bent on hosting a pity party. My two cents.
