Why not kick him out? ART + GAS + asterias

[Cl.Mennel]

Dear Mintusists,

for about three years I've been a member of the Minutus mailing list.
Unfortunately, I must say that the former relatively high standard of
discussion has declined rapidly since this person turned up to destroy
the line of argument.
Of course, in former times, there were debates on behaviour code and
guidelines as well, but I've never experienced something like this.
I think most will agree with me that there is no room for intolerance,
sexism, and self-righteousness in this group. Neither is it a place to
promote libel, nor insult.
This person comments on anything and anybody just to have his say or
even worse to hurt other people while miming everybody's buddy. I've
just been wondering what forces him to do this.

Thus, I suggest to kick Dave Hartley out of the Minutus list for
considerable time, until he has learnt the minimum of good manners and
decency.

Dear Joy,
I would miss your inspiring contributions.
Just think, why should you, the innocent victim of such an offence, give
up?
I'm sure most will agree: We need you and your mails.
I want to express my solidarity with you.
Best whishes
to all of you
Claudia

Hi Claudia,

You are showing off your wonderful good manners and decency, thank you so
much.

Please, if it is not to much trouble, could you either prove or retract the
inference that I have practiced libel or sexism in this forum?

Otherwise, you are certainly guilty of at least libel yourself, if not
pack-mentaility sexism.

thank you,
Dave Hartley
