Outsiders are most welcome but not expected to shout, be rude and try to police the list, when the local members are not doing it too. Why spread unhappiness wherever we go?
please make yourself clear - are you proposing discrimination between local members and outsiders or not? Further, if you look at this thread I requested the person concerned to trim his posts *politely* several times before shouting.
Your way of requesting is many a times rude and incoherent. Instead of simply speaking clearly and explaining politely what you want, you will post irritating one liners after others' mails and only after some mails will you explain what you meant. By that time the damage is already done. There is no discrimination between local and outside members but if local members have to leave the list due to rude behavior of outsiders, then this is not right.
And as far as I am concerned, Mumbai is as much my city as yours - it is the financial capital of our country and I visit it fairly often (and have probably attended as many LUG meets as you have). We have had this local vs outsider nonsense on Chennai LUG too - please do not start it here.
Similarly there is some cordial etiquette expected from you too, especially when this is not your home list.
