[Rhodes22-list] Deregulation and Da List

[Herb Parsons]

John,

Respectfully,

Ben addressed the list. My response was directed at him, but since he 
made his concerns public, I made my response public.

So, are you, as the owner of the list, REALLY saying that my choices are 
to either have a moderator, or "STFU"? Hardly a reasonable response, in 
my view.

I will note, that your abusive rude response was also not "addressed 
privately", and suggest that maybe the other 250 members no more care 
for your response to me than mine to Ben; however, mine was at least civil.

Am I to take it that this is an example of the would-be moderator's 
version of "toned down" responses?
