[kictanet] Solving Flareups

[Gakuru Alex]

Bill,

I repeat, if the only contributions one ever makes are anti-consumer
mailing list objectives, principles, and values. Negative to the
extent that they distractive and  destructive hard-won gains and long
established list engagement principles and
framework. Outbursts that cost the list humble and loyal subscribers.

We have not build what we have today easily and shall not allow
*anyone* to use it as platform to advance unclear private interests.

I promise you I will suspend (and if need be unsubscribe) such an
individual very fast and without a flinch. The decision or action and
the necessitating circumstances are communicated openly to avoid your
alluded  "officially instigated" fears. This also removes gaps for
credibility tarnishing - we have losts of experience in that area...

Regards,

Alex
