The kind of piling on that I've seen in this thread against Parker is an obscenity that makes his faults mild by comparison. His ways of expressing himself leave much to be desired, but the reaction of some admins, the accusations of lying, the ridicule, the belittling, the lynch-mob mentality go far beyond anything that he could single-handedly do are absolutely sickening.
For what it's worth, a person doesn't actually have to *do* anything for them to be a nuisance on a mailing list. If someone's continued presence is an ongoing distraction and interruption, with little in return, eventually you have to admit that we're better off without them.
