When people join the list, the extropy list asks them to agree to and 
follow list rules.

Sometimes I don't agree with moderators' decisions either, but I believe 
that the moderators are fair and equitable and review the circumstances 
carefully.

That's fine. Some people prefer to do it in private and sometimes it makes 
a bigger impression on the moderators if email is sent to them and the 
Board directly.  This is most likely why list rules agreement state that 
complaints are to be sent to moderators.

If you draw a circle in the sand and study only what's inside the circle, 
then that is a closed-system perspective. If you study what is inside the 
circle and everything outside the circle, then that is an open system 
perspective.
