I do not know the persons in a recent flamewar, one of whom called the other an 'asshole' and the other, who apparently because of extreme vituperativeness in another flamewar has been blocked from the list.
So, purely because of the use of the expletive, I also vote in favour of expelling the member who used it from the linuxers list.
No matter who you are, no matter how powerful you are in the little Indian FOSS frogpond, you cannot get away with something like this
or,
can you?
Guess that depends on the forum.
And even usually dormant members do no like to get cusswords in their mailbox.
If others too believe in the one person one vote principle, they should vote in this matter. If expletives are allowed today, tomorrow the atmosphere of the list could end up poisoned.
