Ok, I think I have cleaned out all of the sludge so those messages
should no longer be in the MacVisionaries mailing list archives. There
were numerous discussion messages from others which quoted the deleted
messages. Those still exist and you might want to delete them as well if
you don't want that stuff memorialized. If you can't figure out how and
would like one of those removed let me know.
As always, this list is all about the marketplace of ideas with free and
open discussion, even heated discussion with disagreement. Obviously
this particular user was not interested in helping others or positive
debate around topics of interest to this group. The good thing is this
seems to have been a rare exception of malicious intent rather than
somebody just getting a little too passionate about a position. 99.9% of
the time folks seem to genuinely want to help each other out and I'm
sure that will continue unabated.

Wanted to let you all know that the account in question is now blocked from the
list. I should point out a couple things:
1. I'm not the moderator, I just help out with registering new users, as many
of you already know. By nature of that role I can also help folks out by
fiddling with their accounts. While I may be overstepping my role, it was
obvious to me that this cup of sewage was spoiling our barrel of wine.
2. I went through the history of postings from when the account was added in
2011 and the screeds of late do not seem to be of the same person. I suspect
the account somehow got hacked and the new owner decided to have some 'fun' by
trolling our list. The original poster was usually on-topic up through December
of last year and then went silent. Suddenly he pops up on the list with 27
posts in two days of a most unpleasant nature.
3. I'm not familiar enough with how this system works to know if we can delete
the messages. I'll poke around and find out. That won't help your inbox but it
might be some solace to the real owner of the account whose name is now
associated with the recent unpleasantness.
Sorry for not pulling the plug sooner. I'm not on my email as often on weekends.
