Here are the facts: 1) He posted a link to a website showing gruesome war wounds without any hint in the email what the contents of the web site were. 2) Someone (I believe several people) commented that it would have been appropriate to warn potential link-clickers what they were about to see. 3) Peter Moss reacted to this by spewing political rhetoric, accusing everyone on the list of sticking their head in the sand, calling the US an "Empire", referring to Bush and Blair as "Führers", and calling all Germans "treacherous". 4) Several LUG members reacted negatively (as can be expected) to this. I'm sorry, but the only person who was acting in an "infected" way was Peter Moss himself. We usually welcome newbies and new subscribers with open arms, provided they understand that this is a list primarily for the discussion of Leica cameras and photography and behave in a civilized manner. When someone comes on, brandishing a flamethrower and blasts away with their first message to the group, they'll find out that we are NOT a bunch of meak, quiet individuals who never speak our mind. As far as I can tell, Peter didn't have the brains to act in accordance with commonly accepted netiquette and didn't have the balls to survive the consequences.
