Foundation-l, the mailing list nobody can edit for the encyclopedia everyone can?
I'm not sure what encyclopedia (or *cough* other Wikimedia project) you're editing, but all the ones I edit are /more/ moderated than this and other lists. In fact, I think that's what they gave you and I the admin buttons for.
If we're going to get on the topic of censoring mailing lists, we should deal with Wiki-en-l first, THEN foundation-l.
I'm sorry, but asking for civility and an end to mean-spirited or combative behavior is not the same as "censoring." I would expect a hardened administrator like you to be immune from such irrational leaps of logic and not create these strawmen. There shouldn't even be a question here. There is a huge portion of the community that is severely turned off to this list and other discussions at this level because of net-negative personalities that are tolerated, and we ought to try to fix that.
