[MD] Decision

[Ian Glendinning]

Hi Matt, I did say "even" Matt .... you weren't the worst offender by
a long chalk ;-)

The only point of yours that actually got my hackles up was the "I
haven't followed the threads that led to this decision (but I'll opine
anyway)" angle.

For me this wasn't the time for even handed tolerance - yes "even" Ian
can say that. Bo has had several metric tonnes of tolerance over the
last 8 to 10 years. Horse was drawing a line.

The only "moral" issue here is Bo's ignorance of the "Bo SOL" issue is
clogging up the entire MD bandwidth. The issue that many of us do
ignore him for long periods - until he starts perverting new
correspondents with his "my story is the Pirsig story" rhetoric.

Give it a break Bo.

Ian
PS and yes, Platt would be ahead of Bo in the queue, from my
perspective, but this argument isn't about fairness as a concept.
