So, unless you're in bed with a developer, I think it's safe to assume
you're lying.
When do we get to the point that we don't allow this shit anymore on
wikien? Putting up with all of this makes it way more tiresome than it
should be to be to read the list.
Put it this way: more than me has thought he's more than one of the
recent posters with a remarkably low evidence:invective ratio.
The poster in question is no longer completely useless to the list. I
think we're slowly training him to write things that are relevant
talking points concerning the project.
I think he has improved. There are others whom I found strident when
they first arrived, but who have since become more reasonable. The
training of is slow; all it takes is patience.
I fear that's all we can really do. The fundamental
problem is that,
as long as email addresses are free, it's impossible to keep someone
entirely off the list without getting really drastic and screening
just about all messages. And that would in fact make a
conceptually-moderated list, which would be a failure as a list.
wikien-l has to be open, as Wikipedia has to be open.
Strongly agree.
