Hi Nathan,

Do we have a policy about removing list subscribers that send abusive or

I think that (most?) people have already figured out that messages from
unfamiliar senders on certain topics have to be ignored. It is much
easier than any moderation, which would be ugly work (someone would have
to read the often horrible stuff).
I think that you only "associate" with trolls if you feed them. I have
recently made that mistake on this list once and will not repeat it.
I disagree. Their emails pollute the list. Just as I wouldn't like to
go to a bar where there are noisy jerks in a corner, I don't like to
frequent an ML where there are. Bouncers exist in physical space, is it
so hard to electronically bounce jerks? Is it so hard to explicitly say
'be a jerk and be thrown out'?
Their presence makes the place unwelcoming.
