> as much hostility and aggravation on one side as the other.

An evidentiary based review of the list archive confirms that this is  
not so - "the situation is very, very asymmetric."

The co-coordinators intervened - not one of the coordinators.

Again, see above - not the case.

> one of the coordinators

Incorrect.  See above.

Freedom can be appropriately complicated.  As seen in the recent  
discussion about the need for some basic rules, to underpin freedom.   
In this case, rules that proscribe an atmosphere of fear, of personal  
attacks.


More generally.

Only when we take seriously the requirement to discuss facts and logic  
- but, definitively, not discuss each other - is a conducive  
atmosphere possible.  After that, we may get to other possibilities,  
such as 'taking a matter off list.'


That said.

The lower the temperature of the words - not rhetoric or, as has been  
said, theater - the more likely discussion may be  useful.

And that goes for both 'sides' - most decidedly, for all.


In my view, needless to say,

David
