Clearly, it's trolling, the quote above should demonstrate that beyond doubt. However, one must ask what the reason might be for such deliberate trolls. Perhaps the reason is to see (and demonstrate in the process) just how far one can go before one /does/ get pushed off the list. I was frankly shocked at both active sides earlier in the thread, perhaps this is just trying to push it as far as possible, maybe with the motive of driving the council to /some/ sort of action to institute enforceable and enforced list guidelines. OTOH, that's taking a step many had been hesitant to take. There's kill filters when someone (or some thread) gets too far out to take. Perhaps it's time for list regulars to kill-filter the thread /and/ the abusive user. If that avoids the step toward direct censorship he seems to be trying to push... -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
