Kathryn,

While I appreciate the idea of having such power, apparently you have not 
noticed that the problems persist whether I post or not.

It is also is difficult to imagine your criteria for assessing who does the 
harassing.  How is it that you find persistent postings about relevance, 
process and pragmatics to be harassment, yet you find constant personal 
abuse and a complete disdain for due process not to be?

On reflection, though, it is not surprising that you would be concerned 
with the number of postings, rather than their content.  I seem to recall 
that your reaction to being told of documents we could use as a basis for 
our own procedures was to declare that you did not have time to read 
them.  Too many pages, no doubt.

There is some small humor in the irony that all this uncivil behavior is 
being self-righteously done in the name of civil society goals.

Thank you for regurgitating a few lines from our charter.

The question was asked in the hope of eliciting something a bit more 
substantial, or at least more useful.

Oh please, yes.  Let's get back to illegal disenfranchisement, shall we?
