Do you really think they'd bother to moderate someone who hadn't done
something to deserve it?

Do you really think that they'd go through the continual effort to keep
on moderating them, rather than relax it after a while, if the person
didn't keep on doing whatever it was?

He got a blunt response, from a moderator, on this list in public, after
his recent, "goodbye cruel world," message.  That he'd been told what he
had to do, and refused to.

The ball was *always* in his court.  And other people shouldn't have to
go out of their way, at all, not in any small amount, to have to avoid
abuse.  He chose to do what he did, and chose to keep on doing it.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point
trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the
public lists.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
