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.
