Even though it's hard and can be tiresome to many of us (and maybe drives some away), as long as possible, I'd like the majority of our lists to stay open to all people willing to express something. Blocking potentially relevant comments from non contributors because some trolls are trying to wreck havoc is giving them too much importance and therefore giving them an easy victory. And, despite what I personally think, a non-contributor calling the RMS vote a "witch hunt" is not necessarily a troll. An angry person, surely. But being angry and being a troll are two orthogonal things. That's my two cents, and I'm no one to decide, of course. -- Pierre-Elliott Bécue GPG: 9AE0 4D98 6400 E3B6 7528 F493 0D44 2664 1949 74E2 It's far easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
