Hi,

If a subscriber is not making a meaningful attempt to engage in good faith discussion by responding to others, and instead making repetitive restatements, then I think they are causing a nuisance and will be subject to moderation action.

Perhaps we have reached this point on this particular topic. Unfortunately there is not a bright line when an individual’s engagement ceases to be constructive, so it requires applying some judgment. There is also a case to be made to not “feed to trolls”, with the replies consuming more oxygen than the original posts.

At what point do we ban a person from sending anything to the mailing list? They have done nothing but attempt to sow disinformation in what can only be assumed to be deliberate at this point.

This is your third attempt to perpetrate this falsehood.
As you were already told, your only "evidence" for it is
an April Fool's joke.

Please stop.
