dear Gordon,
it would be better to try to keep a more civil tone, even if you and others have been subjected to character assasination and disinformation campaigns and feel justififiably angry.
For example, instead of writing "xabier is a totally unprincipled liar', you could factually say, 'Xabier's charges are untrue', and just give a rundown of the facts
from p2p-es, I think I understood that xabier tried to join this list but was unable too ? my understanding is this list is based on self-registration. Thanks for anyone who can help.
we've really tried over the years to keep a civil tone here,
though I profoundly disgagree with the technique of character assasination and disinformation that was so generic to the flok mgt style, I want to re-iterate that we did not purposefully exclude anyone from joining the list here,
of course, such practices have no place in p2p culture and a list such as here, which is why it is so important not to emulate here
but let's keep it here to facts and arguments, and avoid direct personal attacks,
