If this list chooses to block me for any amount of time, it might as well be forever. I'm responding to other people's mails here; I'd prefer to mail less as well.
In any case, you'll be blocking someone for asking relevant questions and replying to relevant concerns. I think that is pretty self-evident. If I do get blocked on this list, I will be taking my discussion to Wikipediocracy where I have never been so much as encouraged to be quiet beyond the matter I mentioned before, and anyone who is interested in it is welcome to join me there. This is getting *really* scary. Think about what you do in full sight of the entire community before you act, please. ,Wil On Wed, May 28, 2014 at 3:56 PM, Kevin Gorman <kgor...@gmail.com> wrote: > ...
