The Logic Off Topic list

Are you serious?  Hmpff...  Oh well, you're too dumb to understand anyway :-)).

For the rest: thanks for a post that expresses ideas I can 
wholeheartedly subscribe to -- and in a much funnier way than I would 
have managed.

Once more, I really don't like this moderation business here.  Tons 
of respect for the moderators and the unthankful job they do, really, 
but I think the OT list is OT by definition, and no subject should be 
moderated, ever.

I know there are people who tried to send mail to this list which 
hasn't gotten through because the moderators deemed it inappropriate. 
I know of a specific case where the "inappropriateness" was nothing 
more than "disagreeing with the admins", and *that* annoys me even 
more.  It's still a free society, right?

Probably some of the admins are young and relatively inexperienced, 
and that could account for some of these happenings.  That's okay 
with me -- we all gotta learn -- but I think by now it's time the 
admins should stop the moderation and just admit that they're about 
to cross a line (or have crossed a line) that shouldn't be crossed.

And then Joeri: no matter how much I like him and respect him (and I 
truly do), I don't see how his opinion is of much consequence.  Joeri 
stepped back as admin, and we now got to deal with "outselves" -- 
i.e. new admin team and subscribers.  Joeri's opinion is, in that 
sense, of no consequence imo.
