Re: [Last-Call] Warning and removal of message

Yeah, with great power comes great getting dragged into people's disputes!

It is pretty sad when important topics that do merit serious discussion are drowned out by interpersonal beefs.  I certainly don't want to be making choices and justifying my choices about redaction to the involved parties, who would likely be in a heightened emotional state.

Also: if somebody has been a knucklehead on the list, leaving it on their permanent record is good for their soul, and will maybe make them more circumspect in future.  One can hope.
