I completely understand the list members stress related to this, and
nobody can say I have not tried to move this discussion to the
exi-freedom list repeatedly, which he has refused to do. I personally do
not consider shutting him down by identifying his lies, extremism, and
hypocrisies publicly to be spamming the list so long as the list is
willing to continue to tolerate his willfull lying, extremism and
hypocrisy. I have placed him back in the trashbin, so as long as the
rest of you are willing to tolerate and buy into his BS, you are welcome
to him.
"Societies get the government they deserve" and all that rot. Societies
that prefer high crime to individual liberty will get just that, and
lists that prefer mentally unstable individuals posting rants and
excretory comments demonizing other list members will get a list full of
just that sort of person.
