Many negative personal remarks that have been, shall I say "more strongly
worded" than what I wrote, have been made about Microsoft employees and
executives by various members of the list.  I find it interesting that what
I wrote, which is rather mild in comparison, would trigger you to say
something.  Will you post a similar warning the next time someone expresses
a low opinion of a Microsoft supporter?  I don't believe a simple statement
of having a low opinion of another person is anywhere near sufficient
grounds for suspending someone from a list.  If you disagree then maybe not
having a list is the correct solution.
