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?
