Hi Pierre-Marie & All,
        Well said, BUT there are 3 MAJOR problems with your proposed
solution:

1) Art is good enough to sponsor this list, but HARDLY ANY LIVING HUMAN
would have the time to screen every post! This list is set up to function on
automatic.

2) While Art has outlined very clear and sane rules, he is very patient in
allowing room for a "self correcting" forum to allow people to straiten
out when they get out of line. Only a hand full of people have ever been
even suspended and only a few have been banished. And believe me,
they ALL blatantly violated rules over a period of time to manage that.

3) Even when Art does eject a chronic offender, if they have no scruples
or respect for self and others they can simply re-register using an ongoing
string of email addresses and continue to "contaminate the water." (an
example of this took place in just the last hour or so).

        So, the most effective method BY FAR of dealing with people who
attack and name call and use obscenities is to 1) ignore them under
any and all circumstances and/or 2) write them OFF LIST if you feel
you MUST RESPOND. Any response on list is like trying to put out a
fire with buckets of gasoline! (3- Praying for them won't hurt, either).
        Of course, you can also assume the attitude expressed by ET, and
which, on SOME occasions I have done - enjoy the "dog fight" for what
it is - humans acting out their weaknesses.... sometimes it can be
viewed as truly comical. However, I find that difficult when things
get "nasty," - especially when such dynamics can lead to contributors
such as Bernd leaving the list, but even then there is a magical solution!
- DELETE!!!!
        Best wishes, Michael

When Jesus said "Love your enemies" I think he probably
meant don't kill them.
