That's what I've been wondering - why not just unsubscribe Mike?
He's a talented guy, he deals with a kind of literature. Like all artists,
he must be aware that not everyone cares for his taste. Unlike most artists,
he doesn't care - he just thrusts his creepy stuff in your face anyway. The
point is, he's really nasty, and hardly any of his postings have anything to
do with Euphoria. I don't think he has any right to do this, and there is no
reason to allow him to continue posting. Any civilized group needs some way
of dealing with vandals.

In a way we deserve it. If we're too wimpish to just pull the plug on the
guy, then maybe we deserve to eat the kind of material he specializes in.

There's no need to even moderate the list. Please Robert, just don't let
Mike post anymore. If he pops up as aliases that act the same, deny them
entry too. If he comes along with an alias with a different personality,
great. What's so complicated?

Bye
Martin
