Dear Nicky, I find your contribution to this problem very imaginative. Instead showing ways of how a problem might be solved you are suggesting to discriminate against a member of the list. Rakesh may have not chosen the right way of expressing his concerns but this does not give anyone the right to say ignore him. The best way of solving the problem is to make substantial contributions. But I doubt whether you wish to see the conflict solved. Rather you seem to want to see it escalating. I do not know how to describe this approach - perhaps cynical. At any rate it has nothiong to do with the concept of solidarity you refer to at the end of your email.

I guess it's a hazard of unmoderated lists that some members will not appreciate the expression of views that conflict with their own, but instead CONSISTENTLY use the list to distort the arguments of other members. Imho, one is not obliged to defend oneself against such nonsense. Further, in my experience, the best way to deal with unwanted correspondence and/or harassment is to mark a repeat offender's email address as "spam". My browser automatically deletes Rakesh's contributions before they enter my mailbox. In short, I uphold his right to express any opinion that he wishes to express; at the same time I exercise a choice neither to read nor talk to him.
