My point is that is has been my experience that such expressions of distaste
and opinion as well as attempts to limit discussions often do nothing more
than provoke more of the same in spades or protracted discussion of the
issue in question and the right of anyone to make such a request.  It is one
of the unintended consequences of making such requests as opposed to just
ignoring the stimulus in the first place which usually results in it
subsiding quickly until the next time. J

Gee Laurie, if expressing my distaste and opinion on the topic of
proselytizing for the Lord and Libertarians means an attempt to limit
discussion on the peace-discuss list, then I plead guilty.

 

Obviously, I have no power of enforcement. I simply asked (to those prone to
do this stuff) that it be stopped. I hope it has an effect, but have few
illusions.

Gee Mort, maybe we should discuss your proposal to have such discussions on
this list; in fact, let's start a discussion about discussing such a
discussion. J

 

You, of course, know that one person's floor is another's ceiling and that
bringing up any attempts at limiting discussion and topics just precipitates
further protracted discussions.

Start other lists which serve your purposes. The baggage which accompanies
the injection of one's particular religious beliefs on the peace-discuss
list serve is gratuitous, not particularly relevant to "peace and justice".
Which obviously is not to ignore that religionists may believe that peace
and justice are central to their religious belief. 

 

Why not have a creationist discussion on the peace-discuss list serve?., or
one concerning the great flood, or the resurrection?.

Mort, that's outrageous.  It's remarkable how illiberal soi-disant liberals
can become when their liberal verities are not observed. --CGE
