Whilst I vehemently disagree with Joe almost constantly, he is a valued
member of the CoV and his posts and the amount of time he spends on them is
to be commended. I wish I had enough time to read them all (at present I
have over 1400 unread posts in my inbox)
I for one will not be voting to remove him, or anyone else, for their
continued interest in the dispersion of information which may be relevant to
debate.
Clearly, the Iraq/Israel/Palestine/US question is on the minds of every
single person, and we are witnessing a wind of change which will go down in
history. In my opinion the challenge now is to take stock and be aware of
the consequences of our actions based on our belief systems, and this is
justification enough for me to oppose hermit on this.
Censorship, or bumping issues upstairs is not in anyones interests. If you
dont want to read joe's posts, dont read them.
And another thing...if you are going to have a poll, which voting method
will be used? first past the post or some strange form of PR? Where is the
constitution on this? ;-D
Dylan.

[Joe Dees] In our combative heydeys, I was blistering off fifty replies to
Aggasi, just as Hermit was doing to EEA. And many of them were addendums to
100+ KB strings. What has been going on recently pales by comparison.
[Hermit] Key difference "I was blistering off fifty replies...just as Hermit
was doing." We were writing them ourselves, for the list. Not merely
regurgitating other people's words - often without even crediting the source
- as you seem to have taken to doing.
[Hermit] In addition, if you would maintain the subject line, the contents
would remain on a single thread, allowing them to be managed quite easily
via the BBS as a number of Virians do. Unfortunately, your list spamming
tends to push other people's posts off the current views and into history,
making the the list and the BBS worthless for any opinions but your own. Now
that may be what you want. The poll is intended to establish if that is what
others want.
