Re: [DMCForum] Re: Posting FROM Marc Levy about Moderation



The few who are standing up against the new policies are the only ones 
who really should be members of this group.

Members who thank you for banning Marc should be urged to find another 
group where members can be banned, with the explanation that this group 
is an open forum.

Regards,
Jon Heese
