I took a look and found that Bob's the moderator. In fact, he's just
"unsubscribed" a member, with the comment:
"It is my aim to keep this list a friendly place where
TS fans can gather and discuss the books and related topics.
"Differing points of view are welcome but insults have no place here."
I'm all in favour of that philosophy, Bob, but rec.collecting.books has
become considerably less of a friendly place where people can gather
and discuss books in the last few years, and a lot of that is a direct
result of abuse, profanity and insult from you.
Any chance you'll be practising what you preach in this neck of the
woods? Or will you continue to take advantage of the fact that rcb is
unmonitored?
