Thank you, Stuart. As Stuart knows, we just lost a subscriber who I signed up at the Market on Saturday because I told this person the listserve content was factual, interesting antiwar content we don't get from regular media. Then the first posts she saw were squabbling about highly controversial already-settled case law.
I have been guilty of responding to late-night posts unrelated to our anti-war message that angered me, when cooler heads advised me to ignore them. TMI Alert: it took some strong therapy for me to pull out all that early religiousity indoctrination when the cognitive dissonnance became too much!!
Since we have not billed ourselves as Anne's or anyone else's therapy group, I move we either re-discuss the focus of this group at a personal face -to- face meeting, or we form a separate discussion list serve for the other topic.
In the meantime, Wayne: my email is bjornsona at ameritech.net if you want to communicate that way.

Lots of right arguments go unheard, and many wrong ones flourish, or
else why would the US still be supporting the bombardment of Yemen?
Look, I signed up for AWARE as an anti-war group. I go with David
and Ann and Karen to work the farmer's market twice a month, and to
the monthly demonstrations, to express and work for opposition to US
participation in wars around the world. I've done that and other
things for many years, as many of you know who have been doing it
beside me.
I'm here on this list and others for discussion of opposition to war
and what we can do about it.
I didn't sign up to AWARE, and neither did the several people who
joined this list just last weekend, to join an anti-abortion
(and-oh-by-the-way-never-mind-what-happens-to-the-mothers) group.
Anyone here who wishes to start or join such a group, run a market
presence, hold demonstrations, carry on discussions, is welcome
to. But not on this list, please.

a higher (Levitical) authority for narrowing of the limits of
debate.
And when you are wrong, to admit the fault, delete the offending
code, and reboot.

Dear Moderator :) What is the agreement for
what people are allowed to publish here? I hate to lose
subscribers because we go off topic. (Guilty, I know).

A paraphrase:
"Until the conditions for Americans in the world (beset by
terrorists) change, access to safe drone assassinations needs
to be an option, if you value the life of Americans.
"If you don't value the life of Americans, then criminalize
them."
