Not censorship mind you, but a little nudge in the right direction which is done by the moderators of many lists when the discussion on a topic has reached this point. You are respected by all for the fine work you do as moderator of the list. I am sure a word or two from you could put this to bed as far as the list goes. Then everyone could continue to discuss their views on this topic to each other off list. Thank you for your consideration of this request.
