[pianotech] Conventions ( was Pianotech? )

[Tom Driscoll]

To all ,
 I recognize the slippery slope that a ban from the lists creates. It's true we can have contentious exchanges  where emotions can get carried away but it seems always to be within the context  of opinion and viewpoints on matters technical. Quite a few heated exchanges have occurred without inciting discussion about a ban.
 This is another matter in my opinion.
   We do have a precedent in this area. I do remember that some years ago a list member was removed for what I believe was defamatory content not unlike our present example.
I have made my opinion clear to both the list and the home office via the feedback link.
   The " ignore him " plea is all I can do from this point on. Let's see what happens from here.
   Best to all,

 Tom D.

  On the one hand I agree that we should not have to put up with Duaine. And I applaud you for offering to be the monitor. But where do we draw the line? There are others on this list who have at one time or another, pissed off other members, or have uttered bad words. What will be the deciding factor? And more importantly, should you be the only one who makes that decision? What if you did ban someone, but others don't' like what you did? Do we ban you then?

  I think the best thing we can do is ignore this guy, and perhaps block him, if that is what you want to do. But I don't think it s agood idea to "officially" remove him from the list, no matter how dumb, ignorant, obnoxious, or arrogant, he appears to be.
