I am sure you realize that by this you have given such personae the power 
to drive you and others who feel the same off the list, thereby lowering 
its standard further.
The IDNO archives show precisely how this has been done.
For this reason alone I would urge Thomas to either institute strict 
moderating or else keep one open list but set up a separate list with the 
highest standards of civility. (call it icann-europe :))

Once more, I like to caution you all that a single list for the 
icannatlarge can become a single point of failure.

The mailing list is good for items that need to be brought quickly to the 
attention of subscribers.
But web based forums are better for serious , stuctured discussion that 
stays up for easy reference.
Because of slower response times and a "pull" character that does not 
pollute all members' mailboxes, they are far more resistant to trolling and 
disruption.
