Quoting Marc Riddell michaeldavid86@comcast.net:
I'm concerned here - Moreschi was to some extent provoked.
Joshua, whatever happened to good old civility; which sometimes calls for self-discipline and self-restraint.
I'm not saying that Moreschi's behavior was warranted. Far from it. Indeed, before I saw David email as soon as I saw Moreschi's I sent him a strongly worded email about his outburst.
While SV's question was valid, the phrasing was unnecessary and a single isolated outburst shouldn't lead to list banning.
When in doubt (or in the wrong) blame the victim?
That isn't the issue here. The point is that it is unreasonable and unproductive to not take into account the surrounding circumstances. In any event, since Moreschi has been placed on moderation rather than banning I'm ok with the result.
