[gentoo-user] OT: future moderation

[Matt Harrison <iwasinnamuknow@genestate.com>]

Hi list,

An odd post here but I'm sitting up after midnight with a few beers and 
I wanted to get an advanced word on this.

I don't know if anyone is subscribed to the ruby-talk mailing list at 
the moment (or used to be on the comp.lang.lisp group a while ago). 
There is an odd character there who is harming the community by either 
being insane (not my words -- those of ruby guru Ryan Davis) or with 
extremely well crafted trolling.

I see the trouble that ruby-talk is having with him and I wondered 
firstly, if we would have similar trouble moderating his crap (he 
alternates between email, usenet and forums. Apparently they can't 
moderate him) and secondly, if/when he turns up here can we please shoot 
him down the instant he arrives.

Ok, as I'm writing this it does seem that I'm going a little crazy, but 
I consider this list my home. I love this list and the people on it..I 
don't post that much these days but I have learned a lot. When I do 
post, I get very helpful replies and I know you're good people. I would 
just hate for this guy to come on here and wreck the joint.

Take this as you will, drunken ramblings or well-meant concern :)

Matt
