A mere statement of facts. Neither any single person, nor any single persons civil rights will ever be more important than the FreeBSD project as such. If suffcient many Well Known Developers complain to core asking for Brett to be "banned or else...", he will be banned because his net contribution to the project would rapidly go negative otherwise. I personally think that Brett is one of the people who are a very good argument for a 5 day waiting period before you can send an email. But I will not vote for banning/filtering him because of that, nor will I because my perception is that he is an alarmist sensationalist who can't think a straight thought for 5 minutes. I will vote to ban/filter him (or anybody else) to protect the project and its resources the first instant it becomes necessary. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD coreteam member | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
