Can we try and reach some consensus on this?
I suspect that what you are failing to realise is that there has already been a consensus
consensus between Americans, non-native English speakers, and unpatriotic Americanised English-speakers.
The consensus is that "Jack & Naree" are trolling and should better leave this list before they are banned.
There is no consensus: I disagree. I find this an interesting discussion, and it has been educational for me. Perhaps I'm in a minority, but you are not speaking for me when you want "Jack & Naree" to leave this mailinglist. I disagree with the proposal put forth by him/them, and both sides could show a bit more respect, but if consensus is needed to ban someone, let it be clear that I oppose it.
I thought that Lars' comment was a little strange. Opposition to Jack & Noree's proposal is nearly unanimous, but there needs to be some level of tolerance for people who put forth unpopular ideas. I've taken my shots in this thread, but if I think that he is a troll I still have the option of not feeding him.
