Politics and/or religion causes problems on any forum.
This latest episode is mostly from a banned user who subscribed himself under a different name. He's no longer on vortexB either.
To the remaining subscribers: Vortex-L is a tech list. If you believe you have justification for using Vortex to post personal religious stuff or Christian prosthelytizing, you're on the wrong forum, and at any time may be banned as an internet troll.
For anyone facinated by people who are "Jesus-loving bible-thumping tools of satanic evil" (heh!), go find Peck's book "The People of the Lie: hope for healing human evil." Enlightening as to the psychology, but perhaps a bit too much of exorcist for some tastes.
