Apparently that group is less tolerant than this one (so far). The moderator of the list told me that he had received 150 complaints about me (not sure exactly what the complaints said), and so he removed me. That's only about 4% of the list, but I guess that was enough. He later proposed an appeal process and also the possibility of rejoining if I "followed the rules," but I never responded. I don't believe in banning people just because I don't like the way they post or the opinions they hold, so I saw no advantage in being part of a group that makes this type of intolerance official policy. I'm glad that you can't ban people from USENET newsgroups. -- Anthony
