[MD] Social level for humans only

You really like pushing things right to the limit don't you.
In these two comments you have shown that you have no grasp of the 
reality of the events that led up to my decision to use my prerogative 
as list owner and administrator to stop Bo, yourself, Platt and Mary 
from dominating the conversation on this list.

I think it sad that you didn't fight to keep Bo on this list.  Brute force winning the day I do not find a very high value process.

Bullshit. Having a dissenting opinion on this list is virtually a 
requirement to membership. Ramming that opinion down everyone's throat 
at every possible opportunity is not acceptable. I asked Bo to stop, he 
ignored me and thought it would be amusing to be rude and insulting.
Bo's insults, rudeness and arrogance in, effectively, telling me to go 
fuck myself because he would do what he wanted whenever he wanted are 
what nearly got him tossed off the list. I do not appreciate members 
insulting me for doing my job in the way that I see fit.
I also do not find the attempt to undermine conversation on this list by 
a barrage of posts and hijacking of threads to be a high value process.

More bullshit. Bo has had over 10 years to expound fully on his topic. I 
decided that enough was enough and took the appropriate steps to ensure 
that his contribution, and that of his supporters, was reduced to what I 
consider to be an acceptable level. Bo decided that he couldn't continue 
if he couldn't do as he pleased so he left. His choice.
Bo had no _right_ to post a single sentence to this list or to ignore my 
requests - and neither he, you nor anyone else has the _right_ to tell 
me how I should run this list. If you don't like the way that I run it 
then go away and find another forum for your ideas. But if you want to 
continue on this list then stop talking crap about what's happened and 
criticising me for exercising my right to run MD as I choose to run it. 
I have already asked this and you have continued to ignore me. I won't 
ask again.
