Terrance,

Of course I have called for Pynchon-L to be a moderated list, repeatedly,
that's well known, and only a handful of folks have ever agreed with me
when I've done so -- if you recall, that's why "Morris" first started
calling me List Nanny and why rj/rjackson/jbor/? first called me a "List
Nazi."    I still think it would be a good idea to make Pynchon-L a
moderated discussion, where people would have to sign up under their real
names (the way they do on The Well) and take responsibility for their
words, and where the trolls could be discreetly weeded out. I still think
it would be a good idea, and might woo back some of the Pynchon scholars
who have abandoned this list. A moderated discussion need not be boring, or
even without conflict -- check out PSYART for an idea of what it might be
like. On a moderated list, we wouldn't have to put up with the likes of
"Morris" and "Malign", Scratchit, Fester, Dingleberry, and the rest.

It's only proper that when you bozos start laying down the law about how
and what people should post to Pynchon-L, you should be reminded of your
tendencies to want to moderate the discussion. Logic never has been your
strong point, however. Speaking of logic, yes I do understand that this
kind of post might never see the light of day on a moderated P-list, and if
that's the price that needs to be paid to do without your snot-nosed
whining, and to do without the rest of your pseudonymous crew and their
braindead insults, so be it.

You'd spend your time more fruitfully in the archives looking for what your
buddies rj/rjackson/jbor/?, kai, "Morris", Malign, and the rest used to say
about you on Pynchon-L, if you've forgotten, and remind yourself of the
kind of untrustworthy slime they really are.  On the other hand,  you've
demonstrated that you are just as two-faced as they have been, so I guess
you've finally settled in with the right crowd.  I do hope you enjoy the
company.


Cordially,
Doug "You're Not a Fascist" Millison
