I think that the lack of clarity around Jordi's reasons for booting someone call that into question, but we've got a process for dealing with posters who are disruptive and not much more and that process was invoked. I'm still bothered by the possibility that our Sergeant-at- Arms booted someone off the list because of his personal antipathy towards anonymity, and I hope this is being dealt with by somebody, somewhere.
