Larry lamented,
As I originally expected, we're seeing more and
more "no" answers to
moderation. That's too bad.
Good luck, everyone, trying to implement other solutions, or with the
status quo: I think the list will continue to be mired in constantly
flowing excrement. Those with a low toleration for it will continue to be
driven off.
I beg to differ, esteemed colleague. The prospect of elevating the tone of our discourse
remains ever bright. Your original proposal was made less than 24 hours ago, was it not?
Do not despair.

Let us consider rather WHICH proposal to adopt or reject:
1. Moderate wikipedia-l
Opinion seems to be turning away from this option. Indeed, a couple of non-English
speakers want wikipedia-l abolished (!).
2. Moderate wikiEN-l
Some posters whose reputations carry some weight (like you, Larry, you fat slob! ;- [oops,
I wouldn't be able to say that on a Moderated List <mischievous grin>, even with
emoticons]) have turned toward this option.
3. Just continue to use social pressure
This remains a viable fall-back position.
