OK, then, while we're at it, I move that Jesse Alter be banned too. 
He is using this listserv to make NPOV comments about the death of 
Rachel Corrie ("died while playing chicken"). Granted, there's no 
rule against POV on the listserv, but there's no rule against POV on 
a user page either. If we're going to ban RachelCorrie over this, I 
think it's only fair that we should ban Jesse too.

This is the same Jesse Alter who previously rose to the defense of 
Vera Cruz/Lir, right? Hmm....
