Now, I think we all make them at times, and there are valid reasons. However, given that rule, we all know that if we do, we risk that private reply being brought back into the public forum. While this person is definitely disruptive and we need to find some way to deal with them once and for all, part of me actually finds their replies humorous because they are just SO out there and unwarranted. They take trolling to a whole new level in my opinion. If we want to avoid possible legal issues, I think we could still send the replies to the list, after removing any contact information that is included, and no one would have any trouble figuring out who it is. > -- > PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List > To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- Chase Peeler chasepee...@gmail.com
