What's boring are continuing snide insinuations. Why don't Bryan and
anyone else who insists that the Cyberstalking list was used to
co-ordinate !!'s block say straight out that they think Matt and Guy
and Slim are lying, if that's what they think, rather than using
weaselly innuendo to try to press their point? They should have the
courage of their convictions. I'm not prepared to see them use this
list as a vehicle for turning bad-faith imputations into accepted
fact. There are whole fora devoted to just that purpose, where banned
editors and related malcontents spew their venomous groupthink, and
where their views will be most welcome. This list is not one of them,
and if they keep doing it, I'll continue to call them on it.
