I disagree. I think the correct response is to just completely ignore
him. This apparently worked on rec.pets.cats, when people posted truly
nasty stories about cats; they kept it up until the list learned to
just completely ignore them, and then they went away. Detweiler will
eventually(!) do likewise.
I urge that the spirit exemplified by CPunks not be sullied by
censorship, in spite of the threat posed by LD. It is indeed an
ugly precedent, antithetical to what I believe the list believes
in.
It might help newbies if a discussion of the LD issue be mentioned
in a FAQ list (is there one?), or otherwise maybe a message indicating
the known hazard of LD should be sent to the list every two weeks saying
that the consensus is to just ignore posts from either L. Detweiler or
[email protected].
