Annoying , tedious, sickening and irrelevance go some way towards describing my feelings towards C S postings. He has brought the list into disrepute. The images he has published in my time as a member come close to bringing the RPS into disrepute too.

Britain is no Paradise but his views and 'purported experiences' are a travesty.

To his lethal injection comment I was tempted to add 'not a moment too soon'

I appreciate the warm heartedness that gave him so much lattitude and numerous opportunities to mend his ways but in my view he should be told to leave.

Subject: Christopher Strevens' posts

9 subscribers departed from the list today as a result of Christopher Strevens’
posts.

List participation is, in my opinion, affected by patently off-topic
and disruptive messages.
The list was established to serve as a communications
venue for the friendly exchange of 
information. comments and hints, etc.
related to photography and its practice. 

While it is recognized that it is
easy enough to delete troublesome messages it would 
help the overall
effectiveness of the list if one did not have to do that. Same for blocking

messages from a particular individual. OTOH, he could be blocked from the
list.

We have discussed “censorship” in the past and the general consensus
was that we should 
not engage in this practice. It is disappointing, however,
when members decide they’d rather
leave than have to deal with stuff such what
Christopher Strevens has posted recently and 
also in the past.
