That's totally rediculous (and it was more like 3 than 10). People complained 
and left the list? But they all complained to you, not to me or the list? Now 
even if that were true, it  would have helped if you had just told me that at 
the time instead of just telling me to shut up (in polite wording, but that 
didn't make much of a difference).

As I said, that's how moderation works, and at least the LUG moderators 
explain to you why they refuse certain messages. And if the effect was really 
that terrible, wouldn't it have been more sensible to prevent the message 
from being posted?

> Nor did I ban you from the list.

Was anyone ever banned from the LUG? Moderating messages is something else 
than banning people.

I find it hard to believe seeing that it was not a big deal at all (I don't 
even remember the actual joke but I've seen jokes on the LUG go on longer 
without anyone complaining or even being moderated) and nobody mentioned any 
grief on the list itself, but my real point is that LUG moderators face the 
same issue (and can make the same mistakes), and there's nothing evil about 
using the moderating system to deal with it, as long as you clearly explain 
why (and consistently follow the rules; I guess that's where it goes wrong 
sometimes, I just never had that happen to my messages; I did get moderated a 
few times but with clear motivations).
