That posting was in response a demand that a certain kind of *policy* on
what kinds of posting are acceptable be instituted, a policy which is
very different from what the IGC Charter [1] foresees.
[1] http://igcaucus.org/charter

If someone wants to be on a list where personal attacks are considered
acceptable, the options for achieving that objective are to either
leave this list for a different one, or to propose a change to the IGC
Charter (which can be changed if a sufficiently large majority agrees
with a proposed change.)

By the way, the definition of IGC membership in the IGC Charter itself
is based on a similar type of logic.

Greetings,
Norbert
