Richard: "I'm against censorship as well. But I have the right to post polite, well reasoned questions and comments to the list with the expectation that I won't be insulted in response. And I expect to be able to read the list without seeing references to "the clownish Richard" several weeks after my last post." Agreed. Since when did asking a modicum of decency from list participants become censorship? Like anyone, Andrew's free to post his ideas. And I hope he continues because, in my opinion, he's dead on right 99% of the time. But if he can't refrain from the personal attacks, he needs to go. Andrew, you're in possession of a deeper understanding of the subject than anyone else on this list. Use that understanding as well as your excellent reasoning abilities to further the paleo cause, not to take a mean-spirited harvest of satisfaction in bringing down what you perhaps rightly see as the inferior opinions of others. I would second Gregg's suggestion that "the listserv manager to begin filtering Andrew's posts, and deleting those that use ad hominem attacks and that are otherwise mean-spirited."
