[ExI] clarification

[spike at rainier66.com]

John was not and is not banished from the ExI list.  He was on moderation
for 35 minutes.  When he posted something and saw that he was in the penalty
box, he refused to have anything more to do with us.  He started his own
list, where personal attacks are allowed and political content is
encouraged.

 

ExI is not a political list, but I don't think ExIMod would object to
political posts.  ExIMod will very likely object if one posts personal
attacks, which is what got John in the penalty box to start with.

 

I don't hang out on John's list, but I can imagine he is having a bit of
heartburn with the way American politics are trending.

Over and over he was asked to stop, this is not a politics list. People left
ExI list because of it. He didn't stop.  He posted like a troll.
