I suggested to Marc Merlins, the pres., that they start some sort of off-topic
list and he said that he did not want to do that. I explained to Merlins
that allowing Moen and Self to post political comments but not others with
a different perspective was discriminatory. He replied that Moen was allowed
to make off-topic posts because he made "lots" of on-topic ones.
I told him that was an arbitrary opinion and he replied that he didn't care,
that's the way it was going to be. Real nice folks out there. Merlins also
works for VA Linux, another reason I boycott the company.

Where is the evidence it was "extreme" and define extreme in this case Paul?

It is interesting that you presume without evidence. VA Linux is the only
one. I believe you are quite sensitive to other folks making accusations
about you, Paul. I have actually defended you in a certain situation that we
can discuss off-list someday.

Ya? Please reread the above. You need not accuse me of "antics".

Assumed identities are not identical. You may be referring to the NCSU
list where I did not care to deal with the offtopic socialist politics and
unsubscribed myself. You are in no position to publicly evaluate my conduct,
Paul. I would suggest a discussion off-list for your own sake.
