Anybody else getting tired about how this kind of crap clutters up, and 
destroys, otherwise useful email lists?

Doesn't matter whether one is for or against - once someone is accused 
of political incorrect behavior, conversation becomes dominated by 
discussions of list rules, expelling people, free speech, censorship & 
anti-censorship - to the extent that all useful work gets crowded out.

Mind you, it seems like those who condemn tend to be the most insistent 
& vociferous - provoking folks who see a need to defend either the 
person being attacked, or the general principle of free speech.

Sigh....

     Generalization without end.
     Why are you sending accusations to this mailing list? How is this
     mailing list to defend your rights? Or is your only purpose to
     divide
     and bring more hate here?
