If you’re referring to me Andrew, I know you think I should be drawn and quartered for disagreeing with Your Highness. I find your posts much more divisive than anything Chris has ever written.
This is too bad. I have thought about leaving the list myself, but it is not because of him; it is because of two other fellows. I leave it to you to decide who those individuals are, but suffice it to say that for the last 6 months, I have had an email filter deleting any email from them. I have not been bothered by Chris' ramblings to have a filter for him, but I certainly could. Those other individual's postings are far more insulting and damaging to the camaraderie on the list than any of Chris' postings.

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.
