"Another classic Doug-tactic: accusing everyone else of trying to be a 
moderator."

Doug's post:  

OFFLIST Re: On a Moderated P-lst (WAS: Logocentrism) 

Whoops.

"Who said anything about a moderated list? Certainly not me, not this 
time anyway. I still think a moderated list is a good idea, however."

I provide this example because it also includes another of Doug's
classic tactics: posting OFFLIST posts to the list. 

And 

"Nobody called me a Nazi in those discussions when I argued that
we consider making it a moderated list..." 

AND 

 "I have argued that the P-list become a moderated
 discussion list, in which not every post would automatically be
published,
 as part of an effort to make the P-list a place where serious
discussion of
 Pynchon's work might once again flourish and engage the participation
of
 people who currently choose not to take part because of the mud that
gets
 slung from time to time."
